Just released, Beta 0.15 of the Podcaster iPhone Kit! This simple little web page parses your podcast’s XML feed and slaps it into a nice page designed to render well in Safari, which is the browser on which the iPhone operates. It also grabs your feed’s image and displays it as the icons. See the demo here.
Remember that neither Flash nor Java are supported on the iPhone, but Quicktime is, so all links to episodes go straight to the MP3 files.
Two other things - iPhones apparently use the tel:// handler, so you’ll want a US-formatted call-in number so that iPhone users can tap and call your show comment line right on the page. Also, iPhones have a screen width of 480 pixels, so the page generated is limited to 470 to allow for a margin of error.
Edit the config.php file with a text editor like Notepad, BB Edit, etc. and set all values as appropriate.
Copy the entire folder to your podcast’s web site.
You may need to set the folder’s permissions to writeable, depending on your web host.
Link to your iPhone-ready site from your podcast’s home page.
Enjoy iPhone goodness!

For everyone with iTunes, iTunes 7.3 offers some useful changes for podcasters.
1. Sound Check is enabled, which means no more Podshow deafness syndrome. Podshow podcasts tend to be normalized to very loud settings - probably part of the DGAP process - which can make transitions from non-Podshow podcasts to Podshow podcasts in a playlist a little jarring on the ears. No more - Sound Check now levels volume for podcasts, too.
2. The Get All button is an amazing little thing. It lets new subscribers instantly catch up on past episodes of the show. Welcome, new subscribers - grab it all with one click!
Oh yes, and if you’re a podcaster, that little button is going to do amazing things for your statistics.
Strategic tip: you may want to have more episodes in your feed rather than fewer with the Get All button. What episodes should you have? Well, think about this - if you have a long running show, and you have the ability to edit/modify your RSS feed, you can create a “best of” section in your feed that has your favorite episodes of your show in it. That way, when new subscribers click Get All at your encouragement, they get some of your best content right away.

What is student loan consolidation? Fundamentally, it’s a form of refinancing for your federal or private student loans that reduces the monthly payment by extending the loan term. student loan consolidation is a process that’s ideal for new graduates or students just a couple of years out of school, because the monthly payment reduction lets you allocate more of your budget to other expenses. Ideally, as your career or vocation takes off and your income increases, you can then make additional payments or larger payments and still pay off your loans in the same amount of time as you would have without consolidating.
student loan consolidation also improves your credit rating by paying off all of your existing loans and opening a single new loan in your name, thereby reducing the number of outstanding loans on your credit history.
The student loan consolidation process works fairly straightforward:
+ The borrower completes an application and submits it with a copy of their current loan information
+ The consolidation lender retrieves payoff statements from your existing loan holders
+ Once all the loans have been identified, a new loan is issued by the consolidation lender and the funds are used to payoff the existing loans
+ After the loans are paid off, you begin making payments to the consolidation lender
When should you consolidate your loans?
+ When making a full payment for an extended period of time could be difficult
+ When allocating scarce dollars to higher priority expenses like credit card debt is important
When shouldn’t you consolidate your loans?
+ When they’re almost paid off, or significantly paid off
+ When you’re still in school
+ When you want to pay off your loans as fast as possible
How do you compare student loan consolidation companies and offers? The best way is to do three things:
+ Compare their discounts and the terms of those discounts - for example, one company may offer a larger discount but have a higher minimum loan balance to qualify for the discount. Another company may have a great discount but if your payment is late by even as little as a day, you lose your benefits
+ Call the company’s customer service department and get a feel for what their service is like
+ Get a few applications from different companies and examine the fine print on all the applications to compare who discloses how much
We just bought our BMI cover license for the podcast. For only $165 prorated ($288/year) we’re ready to rock. Next up: buying our ASCAP license, too. Once we have the dynamic duo, just about every song out there that’s a cover will be fair game as long as we have permission from the SRCO - the cover artist - to play their cover.
If you are a podsafe artist that also happens to have a repertoire of covers, please feel free to email the MP3s to me at FinancialAidPodcast at GMail dot com. Please include in the email a brief statement that the Financial Aid Podcast has permission to play your cover song.
The motivation for doing this was pretty straightforward - there’s a TON of great cover music out there that can’t be played on podcasts even if you have the performing artist’s permission. For example, I was at Jeff Pulver’s VON Europe Party and I have some GREAT video of Herding Cats playing. Until I bought these licenses, it was illegal for me to play the video, and Herding Cats, being a cover band, was denied access to my podcast’s audience. I can also play stuff you’ve never heard before on a podcast, like Matthew Ebel’s fantastic covers from various Second Life concerts.
The bottom line is that the Financial Aid Podcast made the investment so you can get even more great stuff from the show.
Question to you: what podsafe artists also have great covers that aren’t getting airplay?
Welcome to Episode 4 of the Financial Aid Podcast Starter Pack, a 5 episode miniseries designed to help you get started on the path of paying for college, as well as introduce you to the podcast and the Student Loan Network.

Fundamentally, private student loans are student loans, which are only funded by nongovernmental organizations like banks and financial institutions, and not guaranteed by the federal government, unlike federal student loans.
They provide supplementary funding in financial aid for students.
They are essentially unsecured consumer loans.
When you strip away all the stuff about them, they are just an unsecured consumer loan.
They do not require things like collateral.
You do not have to leverage a house or a car or anything.
What they are really about in terms of benefits is kind of four areas, options, freedom, flexibility, and availability.
In options, scholarships and federal financial aid are by no means a given when it comes to making college affordable. Scholarship hunting takes time to generate results and there are no guarantees that you will find what you need.
Some federal financial aid and federal student loan programs are based on demonstrated financial need.
You have to file the FAFSA and you have to demonstrate that you are in a position where you need to get financial aid like the subsidized Stafford Loan, the Perkins Loan, the Pell Grant, and things like that.
Some loans, of course, do not require that like the PLUS Loan and the unsubsidized Stafford Loan, but if you fall in the category of not-poor-enough-for-lots-of-free-money-from-the-government-but-not-rich-enough-to-pay-for-a-college-out-of-pocket, federal financial aid may not be able to cover all of your educational expenses.
Act Education Loans like the ones here at AlternativeStudentLoan.com and ActEducationLoans.com can function as gap-filling loans meaning they can help make up a difference between federal financial aid and the bottom line, on your tuition bill.
You may still have some money, some expenses that you did not predict that just sprang up over the last second that is a great place for private student loans to operate.
Act Education Loans are not need-based, which means that eligibility is not confined to the neediest students.
In terms of freedom, there are thousands of educational institutions in the United States and not all of them are certified under the title for the Higher Education Act, which is a federal student loan program.
This does not mean they are not valid educational institutions, not at all.
Some schools simply choose not to accept federal funding and the requirements that come with them.
Act Education Loans are available to students attending any approved school.
That includes more and more private nontraditional educational institutions giving you the freedom to pursue whatever path in life you want to follow.
In terms of flexibility, deadlines are kind of the key for it.
At every point in the federal financial aid process, there is another deadline to watch from the FAFSA to when you can apply for student loans, when you can receive disbursements, and things like that, paperwork, meetings, sessions, entrance counseling, you name it, it is all in there. private student loans give you the flexibility to apply for an Act Education Loan whenever the need arises during your time as a student.
So, if the tuition is due before the semester starts, no problem.
While federal loans may not disburse until a month into the semester, these private student loans can fund as few as five business days after receipt of a completed application.
Past due balances also are no problem.
So, if you have graduated or you are out of school now or it is just sometimes you have got a past due balance, you can apply a private student loan to a past due balance.
There are no deadlines to worry about.
The last area is availability.
Federal financial aid is limited and it is, unfortunately, not a secret that appropriations for financial aid have not kept up with rising tuition calls and inflation.
Act Education Loans provide up to $30,000 per year minus existing financial aid, a far more realistic loan limit for many of today’s private undergraduate institutions filling the gap between federal financial aid and the total cost of education.
So, let us talk about the requirements for a private student loan.
Let’s talk a bit about the requirements for an Act Education Loan.
Act Education Loans can be provided to you as non-need-based loans specifically because they are credit-based loan.
It is similar to an unsecured consumer loan.
As such is vital, understand exactly what your credit score is and where it comes and all that stuff.
What is credit?
Fundamentally, it is a record really of how timely you are in paying back money you have borrowed.
Credit scores are the numerical indexes that determine credit.
Credit scores are based on algorithms, including one of the best known built by the Fair, Isaac and Company called the FICO score.
Scores are negatively impacted by events like late payments, incomplete or partial payments, defaults, judgment liens, kind of anything really that goes wrong with the payment and the scores range from 300-900, 900 as a perfect credit score, 300 is absolutely a bizmo.
You have to — multiple bankruptcies and defaults and there has been a lot of trouble somewhere in the past.
The actual algorithm is a trade secret of the Fair, Isaac and Company, but the following breakdown approximates the way they device or compose a score, 35% of your FICO score is based on your payment history, how untimely were you, how did you make at least some down payments, 30% is an outstanding debt, how much you currently owe, so it is a debt-income ratio thing, 15% is the length of your credit history, looking for a long history of making payments on time, 10% are recent inquiries on your credit report, so it is very important if you are shopping around for a loan.
[FICO citation: HYPERLINK "http://www.myfico.com/CreditEducation/" http://www.myfico.com/CreditEducation/WhatsInYourScore.aspx ]
You do not actually file a bunch of applications because that will, of course, cause your credit score to decline and 10% are types of credit in use or lines of credit.
So, creditors want to just generally see a variety of different types of credit rather than your eight credit cards and nothing else have a credit card on auto loan and a mortgage, it just looks better.
The average credit score for what is called good credit is around 675 or higher for most major lenders like mortgage lenders and then scores lower than 625 demands scrutiny while scores lower than 600 will often be denied outright.
Now, an important thing to note for a lot of students especially undergraduate students is that they usually do not have a lot of credit history and not a lot of variety in the trade lines like types of credit in use.
So, for undergraduates especially, but even for some graduate students, it is vitally important that if your credit is not really, really extensive and solid that you get a co-signer.
A co-signer can be any person who has good credit or who meets the credit conditions for an Act Education Loan.
So, that is kind of the brief overview of credit.
The best thing to do if you want to actually go through the process is actually call us at 866-229-8900 and see what the situation is because if you talk to one of our reps, we can take your application over the phone and you’ll be notified in as little as 15 minutes if you’ve been pre-approved.
Let us talk about the loan application process now.
So, let us talk about the application process.
If you go to AlternativeStudentLoan.com or ActEducationLoans.com, you will find a whole bunch of information on the sites about how to apply for things, how to get things.
Before you apply, you are going to need to have some information:
1.
The Act Education Loan is available to U.S.
citizens or permanent residents attending schools within the United States of America or international students with a U.S.
citizen co-signer.
A co-signer is strongly recommended for you as citizen as required without exception for international students.
You or your co-signer must meet the credit guidelines that have been provided on the site.
2.
What information do you need to apply? You are going to need to have some paperwork gathered that will make the application go by that much faster.
You are going to need your full name, social security number, date of birth, permanent mailing address (PO Boxes are not permitted) and number of years you have been living in that address, monthly rate of house payment, home phone number, occupation or position if you have one, employer and how long employed, again, if you have one, a business phone number if you have one, gross annual income, proof of enrollment like a tuition invoice or letter of acceptance or something like that.
References, nearest friend or relative not living with you.
It must be a different reference from the co-signer.
Now, if you are applying with a co-signer and again, I strongly, strongly encourage that you do so, your co-signer has to provide all these information to you as well.
There is a set of fees, schedules, and things for origination fees and things like that.
Again, check the websites AlternativeStudentLoan.com and ActEducationLoans.com because all the fees and qualifications and things and interest rates change.
They change on a monthly basis.
So rather than put them into an audio file, which would have to be remixed every month, we just say, “Check the sites, AlternativeStudentLoan.com or ActEducationLoans.com or for the very, very latest, most up-to-date information, give us a call, 866-229-8900.”
Now, what happens? You file your application request online.
Your credit is reviewed, your application is reviewed by our quality control department and then if you have been accepted, if the loan is okay, it will be disbursed — this is what is called a direct to consumer loan, DTC, it is sort of the inside terminology.
What that really means is that like for example the Stafford Loan, which you can get at StaffordLoan.com, the proceeds from that are sent as a check to the school’s Financial Aid Office where they apply.
With the direct consumer loan, instead of going to the school, the check actually comes to your house.
Again, a good reason to have a valid permanent address, then it is up to you to manage the money as to how you need to apply.
The reason for this is pretty simple.
A lot of the education expenses outside of tuition and things are stuff that you probably are going to be managing.
So, for example you will apply for federal student loans like at StaffordLoan.com and then that will take care of the percentage of tuition, but you also have things like books and rent, possibly some transportation expenses, all sorts of stuff, off-campus activities fees and things, anything that can be tied back to an educational purpose with documentation is an eligible expense and the money is sent to you so that you can pay it out.
The school does not have to try and manage it because, admittedly, a lot of these education expenses and things can be overwhelming to cut checks for constantly.
So, the system is such that you are the one writing out the checks rather than making the school do it, which some financial aid officers prefer.
So, that is the process.
Now, if something goes wrong or your application is not approved, you will be contacted and someone will let you know what you need to do next to get the loan.
Usually, it is going to involve just getting either a co-signer if you did not apply for one or if your co-signer, if their credit is not as good as we would like to see, then of course, we will recommend that you find a different co-signer.
Unlike the federal PLUS or the Parent loan, which you could find at ParentPLUSLoan.com, the Act Education Loan does not require you to use a parent, so you can use a grandparent, an uncle, aunt, relative, friend, anybody who would be willing to essentially be a co-borrower on your loan and that is the application process.
As long as everything goes smoothly and you are able to return the documentation that is requested things like pay stubs and stuff like that, the application should be disbursed within five business days of a completed application and that means that everything is taken cared of, the paperwork has been approved, everything is all set, the loan could be then disbursedd and you should receive a check in the mail.
So, that is a quick overview of the private student loan program at AlternativeStudentLoan.com and ActEducationLoans.com.
Again, if you have any questions about this product, if you need any advice or just someone to talk to about it, give us a call, 866-229-8900 and someone will be more than happy to help you, more than happy to talk to you about it.

Federal student loans began more or less in 1965 with the Higher Education Act. Since then, they’ve become an industry in their own right. Some characteristics of federal student loans are that loan funds are sent to the school directly, students with drug offenses are not eligible for the loans if the offenses occurred while receiving federal aid, most federal loans require the FAFSA to have been filed, and most require you to demonstrate financial need.
There are three fundamental types of federal student loans - the Stafford Loan, the PLUS loan, and the Perkins Loan. Let’s review each quickly.
First and foremost, to qualify for most federal loans, you must have filed your FAFSA. Check out Episode 2 for more details if you haven’t listened already.
The Perkins Loan is a 5% fixed rate loan which is awarded to students based on financial need. Perkins loans have no fees and a 9 month grace period, or period between when you’re in school and when the first payment is due.
The Stafford Loan is a 6.8% fixed rate loan which comes in four types - subsidized or unsubsidized, and undergraduate or graduate. Stafford loans are by far the most popular of the federal student loans. Subsidized Stafford loans are loans in which the interest on the loan is paid by the government while you’re still in school. Unsubsidized Stafford loans accrue interest while you’re in school. There is a limited amount of funding available for subsidized Stafford loans, which is why it’s important to file your FAFSA quickly at the beginning of each year. The difference between undergraduate and graduate Stafford Loans is mainly in loan limits. Graduate students, because of the cost of graduate school, can borrow more than undergraduates. Stafford loans also require no cosigner and no credit check. You can get more details at StaffordLoan.com
The PLUS Loan is an 8.5% fixed rate loan which comes in two types - parent and graduate student. Both types share rates and terms, but the graduate PLUS loan requires a FAFSA on file, while a parent PLUS loan does not. PLUS loans have no loan limits - you can borrow up to the cost of attendance. PLUS loans are also credit-based; while your credit score is not used, an adverse history with defaults, judgements, liens, or other significant negative credit events in your history.
Let’s talk now about the process of getting a federal student loan. First and foremost, you need to have filed your FAFSA. Your school’s financial aid award letter will detail how much of each loan you can borrow. Once you know that, you can apply for the Stafford and PLUS loans online at www.StaffordLoan.com, www.ParentPLUSLoan.com, or www.GradLoans.com, depending on which loan you want to apply for. Your application is received by a lender like the Student Loan Network, and your application is sent to your school’s financial aid office for certification. The school effectively certifies that you’re a student at the school and that you’re borrowing the maximum amount you’re allowed to borrow, and not more, as a way of protecting you from overborrowing beyond what you need to attend the school. Many schools certify loans differently - some certify loan applications as they come in, while others put them in a pile and certify batches at a time.
After the school certifies your loan, it’s sent back to the lender for processing and funding. The lender then sends a check to your school’s financial aid office, where they apply the loan proceeds to your account at the school. If all of the school’s bills are paid, such as tuition, room and board, and other fees, then any remaining money is delivered to you by the school as a check or account credit for your use with miscellaneous educational expenses.
After school is over, repayment begins, in 6 or 9 months for Stafford or Perkins loans respectively. Most federal student loans have a 10 year repayment term. If you find that you have trouble making payments, you can apply for deferment, forbearance, or consolidation. Consolidation reduces your monthly payment - we’ll talk more about that in episode 5. Deferment and forbearance are essentially pause buttons for your loan payments - interest continues to accrue, but you are not held liable for any payments while your loan is deferred or placed in forbearance. Deferment and forbearance must be applied for through the lender.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Financial Aid Podcast Starter Pack, a 5 episode miniseries designed to help you get started on the path of paying for college, as well as introduce you to the podcast and the Student Loan Network.

The FAFSA is probably the single most important financial aid form you will ever complete in your career as a college student or parent of a college student. As such, it’s vital to complete it quickly and accurately, to ensure that you get the maximum amount of aid.
Take a deep breath. Relax. The FAFSA form may be time-consuming, but it’s not impossible, and you can do it. You will need to gather up all your documentation and download a copy of the FAFSA, as well as the appropriate IRS tax forms.
# When the FAFSA refers to “I”, “You”, “Your”, etc. it is referring to the student! (not the parent, family, or FAFSA preparer)
# Always double check even basic things like your address and ZIP code.
# Nothing will kill a FAFSA faster than errors or omissions! Check everything!
What documentation and paperwork do you need for the FAFSA? Here’s a list! Remember - all financial paperwork needs to be for the previous financial year. If you’re planning to file for the 2007-2008 FAFSA, you’ll need documentation from 2006.
* Your Social Security Number (can be found on Social Security card)
* Your driver’s license or state ID (if any)
* Your W-2 Forms and other records of money earned
* Your (and your spouse’s, if you are married) 2006/2007 Federal Income Tax Return - IRS Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040TeleFile, foreign tax return, or tax return for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia
* Your parents’ Federal Income Tax Return (if you are a dependent student)
* Your untaxed income records - Social Security, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, welfare, or veterans benefits records
* Your current bank statements
* Your current business and investment mortgage information, business and farm records, stock, bond, and other investment records
* Your alien registration or permanent residence card (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
While it’s not required, having a completed IRS 1040/1040A/1040EZ tax form, even if it hasn’t been filed, is going to save you a LOT of time completing the FAFSA. Before you proceed, we strongly encourage you to complete your 1040 tax return, as a number of items on the FAFSA refer to specific lines on the 1040.
Let’s also tackle some commonly asked FAFSA questions.
