210: The Being Not-Rich Guide

This is episode two in a three-part series on paying for college. My guest for this episode is Lauren Schandevel, a 4th year Public Policy student at the University of Michigan and creator of the “Being Not-Rich” Guide--more on that shortly. On this episode we discuss: Where did the inspiration for the “Being Not-Rich” Guide come from? In what ways are higher ed institutions unsympathetic to the needs of low-income students, and how can this widen the gap between them and their wealthier peers? What’s in the guide? What’s been the impact? How you can access Lauren’s guide and even Tips for creating your own “Not-Rich” Guide and spread the word Links from this episode: Being Not-Rich at UM The DIY Not-Rich Guide for other schools Affordability Michigan Facebook Group
