How do private or state colleges handle the situation of low income - high investment balance? For example $30k of w2 income + $10k dividents per year while having $500k invested in stocks in regular taxable accounts. Thank you
I just discovered your channel and am really enjoying it. Can you do a similar video for the max (reportable assets) for financial aid? Is it as straightforward as if 5.64% of assets > cost of one year college, then no financial aid.
I have a quick question! does both parents need to create their own FSA ID? or just one of them need to create their own ID? Also, one parent must sign in the child's FAFSA form right?
Hi Ed, I find your videos very helpful. I have a question. I am financially supporting my aged parents (father is 85 years old, and mother is 78 years old). They have zero income and zero assets, so their entire financial support is on me. Is there any way to put this in FAFSA? My son is applying for Fall 2025 Graduate colleges. Pls give any guidance on this. Thanks much.
why does my FAFSA form still “in progress ” even though i submitted everything and provided signature, and also received two letters that my and my contributor part was completed.. FAFSA still in progress
Very excellent information. Thanks for providing this so clearly.

So you get no fed/state aid if you make >100k - < 150k.. even if you have 3 kids going to college ?
Great info. Columbia HS '25
