Podcast appearances and mentions of mark salisbury

In this NGPF Podcast episode, Yanely speaks with Mark Salisbury, founder of TuitionFit, about his journey from college soccer coach to expert in college admissions and financial aid. Mark highlights the challenges students and families face in understanding the true cost of college and introduces TuitionFit, a tool designed to bring more transparency to pricing. He also shares advice on avoiding overwhelming student loan debt, including the "One-to-One rule" for borrowing and the importance of planning ahead.

With tuition costs soaring, how can students make informed decisions about their education? In this episode, Mark Salisbury discusses the lack of price transparency in college tuition and the impact it has on students and families. He shares insights into the pricing strategies of colleges and universities, the distribution of sticker prices, and the misconceptions surrounding the value of brand name colleges. Mark also highlights the importance of understanding the cost of attendance and the ancillary costs associated with college education. He introduces TuitionFit.org, a platform that provides transparency in college pricing and helps students make informed decisions about their education. Key points discussed:- Colleges and universities often lack price transparency, making it difficult for students and families to know the actual cost of attendance.- The sticker price of college is often not what students actually pay, as colleges offer discounts and financial aid packages.- The perception that brand name colleges offer a better education is not always supported by data, and students can receive a quality education at various price points.- The cost of attendance includes not only tuition and fees but also indirect costs such as textbooks, room and board, and other expenses.- Tuitionfit.org is a platform that allows students to share their financial aid award letters anonymously, providing transparency in college pricing and helping students make informed decisions. Timestamps:- 00:00 Introduction to College Tuition and Price Transparency- 03:21 The Absence of Price Transparency in College Pricing- 08:02 The Challenges of Building TuitionFit- 10:25 The Impact of Information Asymmetry in College Pricing- 13:19 The Myth of Sticker Price and Prestigious Institutions- 21:24 Insights on College Pricing and Perception- 25:19 The Ancillary Costs of College Attendance- 28:41 The Need for Transparency and Education Reform- 36:49 The Shift in College Decision-Making and TuitionFit.org Need career or resume advice?

We now conclude this Financial Aid J Term with the extended conversation with Mark Salisbury, Co-Founder and CEO of Tuition Fit. The edited interview aired during our conversation about student loan fears, but we had to cut so many great insights for time. Enjoy this extended conversation where we discuss new federal regulations, crowdsourcing tuition data, and the need for change and disruption in how this whole system works for students and families. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adlunchcast/message

Whether rational or not, the biggest fear stopping students from enrolling is the fear of student loan debt. While mainstream perspectives and media representations are wildly off base, that incorrect information is what many families bring to the college search process. So what can we do about it? We took a different approach to guests this week - finding folks who can share unique perspectives that we can all consider immediately. Mark Salisbury, Co-Founder, and CEO of Tuition Fit in Davenport, Iowa, unpacks the fears students have and how we can collectively shed some light and perspective on what their experience is likely to be. Matt Osborne, Senior Vice President of Client Service and Sales at Ardeo Education Solutions in Bloomington, Indiana, shares his experience as a Vice President for Enrollment and how creative solutions may be what is needed. Collectively, we can all benefit from spending more time thinking about student loan fears, and this week is our contribution to that dialogue. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adlunchcast/message

With the high cost of college, don't you wish you could pull back the curtain on college pricing to be sure you are getting their best offer for your teen? My guest, Mark Salisbury, created TuitionFit to gather information and put it into a “Kelly Bluebook” of college pricing. Whether your student is just starting to consider and visit colleges or they've already applied or even been excepted, the data Mark will provide you for free will help you know if you are getting a good deal or perhaps it's worth asking for a bigger discount. Mark gathers student profiles and financial award letters to create a data set with amazing benefits for your student and their family. Price transparency means you can get the best price for higher education, so I hope you listen to the episode!EPISODE NOTESDid you know that only 1 in 10 freshmen pays the advertised sticker price at their university? That is just one reason why my guest Mark Salisbury created TuitionFit, a crowdfunded data set built from about 20 thousand college award letters to date. He's seen too many small colleges with high sticker prices fail to get enough students despite giving discounts to everyone who applied. By letting families like yours know what you'll pay if your student gets into the schools they applied to, he hopes applying for college will become more like buying a house or car. After all, step number one in building a healthy college list should be figuring out your budget! TuitionFit receives actual student offer letters, hides the personal details, and then sorts the data based on the student's academic profile, award letter, and the name of the college. That data set allows your family to compare prices, and Mark revealed to me how most families who appealed for more financial aid received a more competitive offer, all because they now had power and agency as a consumer. Mark is joined by various independent college counselors, college search professionals, and access organizations, forming the TuitionFit Collaborative to help more students.Remember, you're the consumer when it comes to paying for college. You need information and price transparency to make wise and informed choices. Mark knows colleges build wiggle room into their pricing, and your family shouldn't have to pay more than you can afford or the college can afford to give you. Even if you're just thinking about colleges right now, TuitionFit can help you shop by price and build your preferred college list to get the best value for your money!Highlights Using college price transparency to build a college list with financial fit for your familyHow you can know what other students with a similar academic profile are paying for the same collegeTips for negotiating a better offer than a college offered you at admissionLearn how the free Tuition Fit tool works & how your family can benefitMeet Our GuestMark Salisbury is a nationally-renowned author, speaker, educator, and champion of college price transparency as a primary way to simplify and improve the college admissions process.  His work has been highlighted by the New York Times, Forbes, NBC, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and NPR.  In addition, he is a regular guest on a myriad of podcasts addressing college admissions and the higher education industry.  Mark earned his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa and holds additional degrees from the University of Minnesota and the University of Kansas.  Before launching the TuitionFit project (tuitionfit.org) to empower the public by crowdsourcing college price transparency, he was an Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of Institutional Research at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, a Board member for the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium.Mark's experience in higher education spans a quarter century at both large and small c

Empowering Counselors To Create College Price Transparency Through Crowdsourcing with college cost advocate Mark Salisbury What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is TuitionFit? What is the story behind the TuitionFit Collaborative? How does the TuitionFit Collaborative work? Who currently uses the TuitionFit Collaborative?  How can someone be a part of the TuitionFit Collaborative? ABOUT TUITIONFIT COLLABORATIVE The TuitionFit Collaborative extends the core premise behind the TuitionFit Project–empowering consumers to create the college price transparency they so desperately need by crowdsourcing the solution and freely benefiting from the results–to independent educational consultants (IECs), high school counselors, and college access organizations.  Since 2019, TuitionFit has been building the only verifiable dataset of the real prices that colleges have offered students.  Students or parents share the financial aid award offers they receive through a secure portal and, in exchange, receive free access to see all offers shared by students with similar need and merit characteristics.   Now, through the TuitionFit Collaborative, we are offering the same opportunity of free, cooperative participation and benefit to professional individuals and organizations that support students and families through the college search process. If you believe that college price transparency needs to be available to everyone and that we should be active in creating the change that will make the world a better place. then the TuitionFit Collaborative is for you and your organization.

College represents one of those backwards pursuits where buyers sell themselves to vendors before they even know the price of enrollment.

What does a financial award letter look like? What are the different types of financial aid listed? Is the amount of aid awarded in a letter final? How and when should an applicant appeal to increase financial aid? Is there a downside to appealing an award letter? MEET OUR GUEST Dr. Mark Salisbury has spent 27 years in higher education.

For many colleges, this is the first week of class. And that means for both new teachers and new students, it's the beginning of one of three weeks that will influence the rest of their year, and their time in college. Believe us, it's science, as you'll hear in this conversation from long ago with our old friend Mark Salisbury. This is one of the many conversations about college that Historically Thinking has done that we think of as Higher Ed: A Guide for the Perplexed. You can find numerous conversations there which will hopefully illuminate areas that for many people are very obscure indeed.  (But why the University of Chicago has bagpipes amongst its traditions...this will forever remain a mystery locked in a closet. We just don't want to know.)

Understanding how much college costs in the US can get really complicated.

Price comparisons, transparency, and the "offer" - is that a GOOD price?
