Determining The Bottom Line – OSCPA Spotlight Video [Part 3 of 5]

Reading time: 5 mins

Welcome to the third video post in our 5-part series, originally produced in conjunction with the Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants (OSCPA). Hosted by the their Communications Director, Gary Hunt, the discussion continues with two local college planning experts in an interview style format.

  • Joe Messinger, CFP® (co-founder here at CWP)
  • Susan Kannenwischer (Director of Financial Aid at Capital University)

Each video has a runtime of about 7 minutes, and touches on the main components of how to pay for college. Best of all, it’s delivered in plan English!

Note – if you missed last week’s video post on FAFSA fundamentals, you can check it out here!


“Determining The Bottom Line”

Here’s Video #3, “Determining The Bottom Line”, in which Joe and Susan further discuss the financial inputs on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), as well as a few quick examples.


Questions, feedback, or other ideas?

We’d love to hear what you think in the comments section below.

Stay tuned next week for Video #4, “Consider An Innovative Path”!
