    How am I Supposed to Pay for College?

    As if searching for and applying to college wasn't complicated enough, now more than ever the cost and affordability of attending an institution can be difficult to understand, at first glance. That's why Regis College's Director of Financial Aid, Tanya Jean-Francois, sat down with Alex this week to discuss the ins and outs of applying for financial aid, completing the FAFSA, important timelines, and what an applicant can do to best prepare themselves for the financial implications of attending college. While students may be familiar with the first step, completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) they may not realize the other options available. While each school will be different, as well as each student's circumstances, this episode is a great place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed about the financial aid process.  Do you have a question about the college application, financial aid, or decision process you'd like answered by a member of the Regis College Community?

    Am I On The Right Path To College?

    There is no right path in getting to college. Everyone's journey will be different and it is the college's job to meet the students where they are and help them to be successful, once enrolled. During this episode, host and Director of Admission at Regis College Dr. Alex Patturelli and Director of The Center for Veterans and Military Family Services, Nick Lanier, discuss their unique vocational journeys. Nick also discusses what he does at Regis to support students, the paths his children have taken to college and the interplay he has observed between "traditional" college aged students and students who's path may have taken them a bit longer to arrive on campus.
