Just a warning "The SUMMER MELT" is coming...contact your incoming students and FAFSA 26-27 due June 30

I'm already seeing signs between parents pressure and students under social media stress they are saying dumb things like "I think I'm going to take a gap year vs transferring to 4 year."

LET ME TELL YOU - this is the WORST year to take a gap year in the USA. You will NEVER have a better chance at getting max financial aid or getting into a college or uni that used to have a waitlist.

If you just spent all last year pushing these students to be ready to transfer please call, email, or text them.

If you are a recruiter and you've been AFK for a month, grab those students. Your hot potatoes are getting COLD. You have to keep poking them, encouraging them, and enticing them to be there for the greatest Fall 2026 of their life.

And of course - FAFSA 26-27 is due by June 30th to receive Pell grants in time. So GET ON IT.

(Sadly, standards have never been so lowered due to low birth rate 20 years ago and low amounts of people taking advantage of scholarships, fellowships, internships, and grants/waivers.) #trioworks
