Gary talks with Ms Beverly Furtado; a senior Financial Aid Counselor in Higher Education. Beverly talks about her role in counseling students about financial options for, and implications of, paying for a college education. She gives an insight into the tasks and responsibilities of administering financial aid on behalf of a school, charitable foundations and the Federal Government. She also discusses the subtilties of dealing with family financial disclosures and advising students on not taking more financial loan assistance than they need because of what that means for post-graduation debt repayment. This is a comprehensive look at the world of financing a college education.
