Making Financial Aid Exciting
I've been working on a Financial Aid brochure and it's turning out to be a more exciting project than I though it could be.
On one level, it's just always exciting to be starting with a blank page and working on a challenging topic.
And then there is the topic: Financial aid is all about opening up educational possibilities to people who might not think they can afford it and creating the opportunity for upward mobility.
The people who most need financial aid are often the least savvy about the process -- parents who didn't go to college themselves, students who really don't know what's out there.
Sure, the process of getting financial aid isn't fun. In fact, it's about as close to a tax audit as you can get, and we all know that's worse than a root canal. But the outcome can really be awesome--getting an education to last a lifetime.
