Paying for College Made Simple: Live Q&A with Liane Crane and Laura Barr

✨ We were so excited to welcome Liane Crane back to our podcast for a special College Finance Ask Me Anything edition! Liane was our featured college finance expert, helping families truly understand the cost of college and how to pay for it. With over a decade of experience in college consulting—plus certifications in College Finances (AFCPE) and Financial Aid (Scoir)—she brought both expertise and compassion to the process. As a parent of three college students herself, she knew firsthand the stress and excitement families face—and how to make the journey a little smoother. In this live AMA session, Liane answered parents’ biggest questions about college costs, FAFSA, scholarships, and student debt. 🎙️ Listeners heard answers to questions like: How do you start a college budget? Should everyone submit the FAFSA and CSS Profile? What’s the best way to secure merit scholarships? What does “financially fit colleges” mean? Why is reviewing a tuition bill so important? …and more! _______________ 💰📚 More ways to learn from Liane: Visit Liane's website: TheCollegeDollar.com 📌 Don't forget to check out our Emerging blog post: FAFSA & CSS Profile Deadlines: What Every Parent Needs to Know for the 2025 College Application Season Its your one-stop shop for deadlines, links, and FAQs!
