S1 E6: Financial Aid 101: Your Guide to College Funding (Nadine Bailey, Ultimate Medical Academy)

For economically disadvantaged and first-generation students, financial aid can be the key to unlocking higher education—but navigating the system is often overwhelming. In this episode, we break down financial aid for first-generation students so families and advocates can better support them. How can we, as advocates and changemakers, help ensure these students get what they need?

 

Join Nadine Bailey, VP of Regulatory Affairs at Ultimate Medical Academy, and host Jennie Treby as they explore the resources, policies and programs designed to break down financial barriers. Together, they discuss:

 

– The latest FAFSA updates & what they mean for low-income students

– Grants, scholarships & financial aid programs that make a difference

– The great FAFSA debacle: what happened and what we learned

– How schools, nonprofits & community organizations can provide better support

– Strategies to empower first-gen students & families in need

 

Join us in the movement to make higher education accessible for all. Tune in to learn how you can help bridge the financial gap and create real change.
