☆ FAFSA delays likely to slow college decisions. 'It's a real mess,' expert says. Here's what to do if your financial aid letter is late
  + stars: | 2024-02-01 | by ( Jessica Dickler | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
For most students and their families, which college they will choose hinges on the amount of financial aid offered and the breakdown between grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities and student loans. This year, schools are now waiting on that FAFSA information to begin building financial aid packages and to give students and families enough time to weigh their options. "The delay in sending FAFSA data to colleges will cause college financial aid offers to be delayed until at least April, maybe even May." "Making an offer of admission without offering a full financial aid offer really isn't useful for most families," said Adam Miller, vice president for admission and financial aid at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. To do this, Whitman and other colleges would need to leverage the information families provided in their completed CSS Profile.

☆ How Wonder Bread has survived competition and the fall of white bread
  + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( Ryan Baker | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
With an increasingly health-conscious U.S. population and a bread industry that looks immensely different from what it was just a few decades ago, it may come as a surprise that Wonder Bread is still around. In fact, it makes up a sizable portion of its parent company Flowers Foods' overall portfolio, alongside Nature's Own and Dave's Killer Bread, Flowers Foods' two most popular brands. In the first half of the 20th century, white bread accounted for as much as 30% of the American diet. The rise of industrial white bread mirrored World War II-era fears of immigrants, many of whom owned small bakeries at the time. While Wonder Bread has somewhat fallen out of favor, people do still eat white bread, and Wonder Bread remains a profitable part of the Flowers Foods portfolio.

☆ I'm the VP of admissions at a small liberal-arts college. Early decision favors the wealthy — here's one way to fix it.

Adam Miller is the interim vice president for admissions and financial aid at Whitman College. I served as the director of admissions at Whitman College for nearly 10 years, and this year, I've shifted gears and am now the school's interim vice president for admissions and financial aid. They may also not reflect changes in a college's financial-aid policies or the total cost of attendance, which can be updated yearly. The offering has since developed into our early financial-aid guarantee, which, like our original estimator, doesn't require you to apply to Whitman. Last year, 301 people applied for the early financial-aid guarantee, and 237 of them wound up applying to Whitman — 63 applied early decision.
