The Financial Aid Family: Understanding How Divorce and Remarriage Can Affect Financial Aid

What happens when the modern family--divorced, remarried, stepparents, stepchildren and all--applies for financial aid? What do you do if your ex doesn't want to be involved? Will your new spouse be expected to pay tuition for your child from a previous marriage? Join us for the March 19 episode of Getting In, when we'll discuss these issues and more with financial aid expert Beth Feinberg Keenan. We'll also talk through the potential impact of Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets on students' college applications with admissions expert Ian Brook Fisher. And if acceptances are starting to roll in and you're wondering about all of those invites to admitted student receptions, admissions expert Becky Leichtling will stop by to talk about whether or not to attend and how to get the most out of your time there if you do. Finally, we'll be answering your questions on air at the end of the show, so send them to us at gettingin.voiceamerica@gmail.com.
