  • How To Graduate College Debt-Free With Money In Your Pocket - Episode 114 (Classic Episode)
    Feb 27 2025

    Send us a text

    Today’s classic episode is super important if you’re thinking about college! I chatted with Chris Corinthian, and he shares amazing tips on how to pay for college without taking on student loans. He explains how to find scholarships, apply for free money, and even get paid to go to school! We also talk about how to plan ahead, save money, and make smart choices so college doesn’t become a financial burden.

    About our guest:

    Chris Corinthian has worked for over 15 years in higher education in the areas of financial aid and financial literacy. After working with thousands of students, he realized that there were specific steps that students did to receive multiple scholarships and graduate debt-free.

    Unfortunately, there were also students who did not know this information and dropped out of school because they did not have enough money to complete college. Chris is on a mission to stop the national student loan debt from rising by showing students the blueprint to not only graduate debt-free but also show them how they can have money in the bank when they walk across that stage at graduation.

    Through teaching the principles of financial literacy, he walks high school students and current college students through a three-step framework on how to “find the money, budget the money, and grow the money” to pay for school.
