College Inside Track President Chris Wills was featured on the WCCO Sunday morning show with Esme Murphy sharing mistakes families should avoid that could unnecessarily raise the cost of college.

  • Always complete the FAFSA
  • Match your student with schools that are likely to give him or her the most money
  • Limit borrowing from Parent PLUS loans
