Tip of the Week

April 12, 2023

Future focus

I was far away from any shore, and the waves were crashing against the fishing boat. Just when I thought the sea was calm, another wave would hit the boat, making it rock violently. My seasickness was made worse by the anxiety over when another wave would hit and whether I would ever see shore again.

A seasoned fisherman on the boat gave me some advice: "Look at the horizon."

It was good advice. Apparently, staring at something far away while at sea steadies you.

Right now, it seems like the higher education industry (financial aid, in particular) is very unsteady. Just when we get some good news, some wave of bad news hits, causing us to reel. The present is uncertain, and it causes us to question the future.

However, focusing on the future may be just what we need right now. It will allow us to remain steady and persevere through these rough seas.

Some good news today: The Department of Education posted a blog late yesterday clarifying its Third-Party Servicer Guidance, easing some of the concerns related to the February Dear Colleague Letter.
