Paying for college: What you need to know when weighing college financial options | Ep. 3
In this episode of the Student-Athlete Advisors Podcast, Reid Meyer sits down with Joe Messinger of Capstone Wealth Partners to talk about one of the most important, and often overlooked, parts of the recruiting process: paying for college.
They discuss how families can evaluate true college affordability, plan for the financial side of the college search, and avoid assuming that athletic scholarships or other “sport money” will automatically make a school affordable. The goal: help families make college decisions that work academically, athletically, and financially without taking on unnecessary debt.
The Student-Athlete Advisors help families, schools, and college counselors navigate the college recruiting process with better information and more personalized support.
Whether you’re looking for ongoing education through our Recruiting Insider membership, self-paced online courses, or customized support for an individual family, school, or counseling organization, SAA offers resources designed to make the recruiting process easier to understand and manage.
