About Us

Financial Aid TV is a service of College Media Solutions.

Our goal is to help college financial aid offices communicate complex financial aid information to students through engaging online video segments. In the process, we are committed to helping students learn about all the options that are available for paying for college.

We work closely with college financial aid administrators to make sure that our content is neutral and current.

Our approach combines a "soft side" and a "hard side".

Our videos are student-friendly, short, and to the point.

We also quantify for schools -- through "hard data" -- the usage of their co-branded platforms so that they can have a better understanding of their student needs, questions, and use of the service.

Here is what some schools are saying about Financial Aid TV:

“Students definitely respond to Financial Aid TV! Best of all, the service is very easy to customize and implement. I highly recommend it to financial aid administrators.”

Craig Yamamoto, Financial Aid Director, Sacramento State University

“Financial Aid TV is a great resource for Financial Aid Offices! Not only does this service help my students understand the financial aid process, it has also helped me begin the process of quantifying student learning outcomes in Financial Aid.”

Sherrie Padilla, Financial Aid Director, Antelope Valley College

“Financial Aid TV provides FAQ info in a TV-type media format, which is highly attractive to students! These very brief clips offer both a video and audio track. And, student feedback has been excellent. Even the counseling staff love it!”

Beth Asmus, Dean, College of the Canyons

“It is like having an extra staff member available to answer student questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

Donna Stewart, Financial Aid Director, Mission College
