February 10th, 2026 @7pm ET / 4pm PT

Webinar Details:

Paying for college can feel overwhelming—especially once award letters start rolling in and the numbers don’t quite add up. The good news? Those offers aren’t always final.

Join College Planning Experts Dan Bisig and Jason Slone for a lighthearted but insight-packed webinar that breaks down how to actually understand college award letters—and how to ask for a better deal.

We’ll walk you through what colleges are really saying in their offers, how appeals work, and when it makes sense to push back for more aid. Whether you’re comparing schools, confused by financial aid jargon, or wondering if negotiating is even allowed (it is!), this session will give you the clarity and confidence you need.

What You’ll Learn:

✉️ How to read and compare award letters without getting lost in the fine print

💸 What a financial aid appeal really is—and how to do it successfully

✅ When and why colleges say “yes” to more money

♟️ Smart strategies for families with unique situations, including business owners and divorced or separated parents
