IvyWise Live: PAYING FOR COLLEGE

Tuesday, April 9, 2024
8:30am - 9:30am

Presented by

Carolyn Pippen
Master College Admissions Counselor
Academic Advisor

As college costs drastically increase year-over-year, it is understandable for students and families to be stressed about paying for college. In this talk, IvyWise College Admissions Counselor Carolyn will explain the many ways that you can pay for college and how your college list plays into the financial aid and scholarship process.

Topics covered will include the new FAFSA, additional financial aid applications required by selective institutions, and a variety of strategies for finding and securing merit-based scholarships.

There will be a live Q&A session following the presentation, allowing attendees to have their questions about college admissions and finances answered directly by Carolyn.

Carolyn specializes in students applying to competitive and/or highly selective schools, liberal arts students, students interested in a wide range of schools, undecided students, and students looking to uncover their passions.  After graduating with her BA in creative writing and her master’s in education policy, Carolyn discovered her passion for the admissions process. She is a former admissions officer at Vanderbilt University and previously served as a school-based counselor, establishing and directing the college counseling departments at two prestigious charter schools in Nashville.  At Vanderbilt, Carolyn was involved in every part of the recruitment and admissions process. The committee review process was her favorite part of evaluating applications at Vanderbilt, and it was there she learned the nuances of how applicants are read and the importance of every piece of the college application. This experience allows Carolyn and her students to put together applications that will impress admissions counselors in the review process. In her work as a school-based counselor, she used her admissions expertise to guide students through the self-reflection and exploration necessary to create a strong postsecondary plan.
