The Cast of ABC’s Shark Tank Often Speak to Colleges, Businesses and Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

Every Week is Shark Week with ABC’s new hit show Shark Tank. In its fourth season, it has become Friday night’s No. 1 show beating CBS’s Undercover Boss and growing its audience by 33 percent this season, according to ABC. This growing show stars five wealthy investors called “Sharks” who consider offers from striving entrepreneurs seeking investors for their business or product. These “Sharks” are no stranger to business as they each have their own unique road to success.

Barbara Corcoran, a real estate mogul, started out with a $ 1,000 loan and turned it into a $ 5 billion real estate company. Barbara led her lucrative New York City real estate business for 25 years, before selling it in 2001 for $ 70 million. This has only fueled her as she has kept busy as an investor, author, speaker, and media personality. She has expanded her investment portfolio with her Shark Tank investments that have included Daisy Cakes, designer Gayla Bentley, Grease Monkey Wipes, The Body Jac, Pork Barrel BBQ, and Ava the Elephant.

Robert Herjavec, technology mogul, built a phenomenally successful Internet security firm called BRAK systems which eventually sold for $ 100 million to AT&T. His entrepreneurial spirit did not stop there as he took on a position at RAMP Networks. Shortly after joining, Robert assisted in selling the company to another major telecom player, Nokia, for $ 225 million. This level of success was new to Robert and his family as they emigrated from Croatia to Canada for a better life. As a Shark, Robert has invested in a variety of products, including gourmet food company A Perfect Pear, Gift Card Rescue, My Therapy Journal, and Grill Charms.

Kevin O’Leary, software business entrepreneur, made his start in his small Toronto basement creating what is today known as The Learning Company (TLC). The Learning Company successfully launched popular educational computer games like The Oregon Trail, Reader Rabbit, and the Carmen Sandiego geography game franchise. With O’Leary’s assistance, The Learning Company eventually sold for 3.2 billion dollars to the toy-making tycoons at Mattel. As a Shark, Kevin has invested in a variety of products including the Caffeindicator, a sweetener than changes colors in the presence of caffeine; Jump Forward, a social marketing tool for student athletes; and First Defense Nasal Screens.

Daymond John, fashion mogul, grew a homemade hat and t-shirt business into a globally recognized brand that grossed over 5 billion in sales called FUBU. His revolutionary urban brand made him a household name along with a sought-after entrepreneur. John is the jack of all trades as he is an author, consultant, branding expert, and professional speaker. In addition to his appearances on Shark Tank, Daymond stays busy with speaking engagements and media appearances. His most notable appearances include CNBC, Fox News, MSNBC, USA Today, CNN, and Black Enterprise. As a Shark, Daymond has invested in a variety of products including including One Sole, Wurkin Stiffs, HillBilly Brand, Lightfilm, LipStix ReMix, and Hells Bells Helmets.

Mark Cuban, Internet business entrepreneur, started and developed MicroSolutions, a software company that was sold to CompuServe (a subsidiary of H&R Block) for $ 6 million. Cuban went on to start an Internet radio company, Broadcast.com, which was eventually sold to Yahoo.com for $ 5.9 billion in Yahoo! stock. Cuban didn’t stop there as he expanded his portfolio with the co-founding of HDNet, the first high-definition satellite television network. Cuban has branched out of technology with his ownership of the 2011 NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks basketball team. As a Shark, Mark has invested in a variety of products including Hy-Conn, a fire hydrant tool, and Toygaroo, a toys by mail service.

These “Sharks” continue to spread their wealth on Shark Tank as well their views on business with speaking engagements and celebrity appearances around the country. Daymond and Mark have most recently participated in several events including a Shark Tank Watch Party in Orlando hosted by athlete marketing expert, Ryan Totka that consisted of Central Florida’s top entrepreneurs and a “Meet the Sharks” speaking event at Babson College.

Answer by Chuckles
You may still be able to get US student loans if the school is on the approved list of international schools. You can also get school aid if the school is a private school. However, publically owned foreign schools do not give aid to foreign undergraduate students.

A loan works like this:

You fill out a bunch of formasnd if you are lucky you get a loan. The interest and payments are deferred until 6 months after you graduate.

You then make payments on the loan. If you fail to pay you will get your credit ruined and cannot get a loan to buy anything. Bankruptcy does not discharge the student loans as they cannot repossess the knowledge in your head.

Most of the time students have a terrible track record at re-paying the student loans, so maybe there’s part of your answer.

The other thing is, some of us have saved our entire lives to send our kids to college. now we can, as long as the banks don’t fail! Also, they may get to go to college, but some of us are angry that they wouldn’t even qualify for one of those low-interest loans, even though we have done all the saving in advance. They have less of a chance of getting a loan than those who have no intention of paying them back.
WRONG.

Give your answer to this question below!

PLUS stands for Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students The Federal Direct PLUS Loan is a low-interest loan parents can obtain to help pay the cost of education for their dependent student. If your award notification from BGSU includes a federal PLUS Loan, the amount offered represents the maximum available that a parent could choose to borrow. Many families find they can meet their actual educational expenses by borrowing the PLUS Loan at a reduced amount. Repayment on the PLUS Loan begins 60 days after the loan is fully disbursed, or parents have the option of beginning payment 6 months after their dependent student graduates, or is no longer enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Information about how a parent can apply for a PLUS loan can be found at the Student Financial Aid homepage: sfa.bgsu.edu. The process involves completing a PLUS Loan request at www.studentloans.gov. A federal PIN # is required. This is the same PIN # a parent would use to file the FAFSA. The process involves authorizing a credit check through the US Dept of Education. There are three of options if the credit check is not approved: 1. The dependent student could gain eligibility for additional Direct Unsubsidized Loan funds by contacting the Student Financial Aid office. 2. The parent borrower could choose to apply for the PLUS Loan using a cosigner/endorser, or 3. The parent borrower could appeal the credit decision. The endorser and appeal processes can be found at www.studentloans.gov

Creating Wealth During An Economic Depression
This Book (47pgs) Provides Straight-forward Tools To Help Create Financial Independence. Bonus: Now Includes 101 Tips For Creating Wealth
Creating Wealth During An Economic Depression

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ) and top officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the White House, Congress and the National Governors Association will gather today at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrator’s (NASFAA) annual Legislative Symposium to address policies around federal financial aid, student loan interest rates, and consumer disclosures – all topics of critical importance to the future U.S. economy and to college-bound students and their families.

Rep. Andrews, who serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee, will offer a keynote address to more than 100 financial aid professionals, college and university government relations staff, association leadership, and members of the higher education community.

“Access to higher education for all Americans is vital as we transition to a 21st century economy,” says Rep. Andrews. “Ensuring federal aid programs are fully funded and that aid is available to all citizens who want to make a positive contribution to our nation is a wise investment in our children’s futures, and in the United States.”

“Hardworking financial aid officers keep students informed of financial aid options in a complex marketplace, and I thank you for your efforts,” Andrews adds.

Guest speakers include Rohit Chopra, Student Loan Ombudsman for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and Joan Wodiska, Director of the Education, Early Childhood & Workforce Committee at the National Governor’s Association.

The feature panel, “The Outlook for Student Aid Funding,” includes Zakiya Smith, Senior Advisor for Education at the White House Domestic Policy Council; Amy Jones, Higher Education Counsel & Senior Advisor, Education and the Workforce Committee; and Ben Miller, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, U.S. Department of Education. Jason Delisle, Director, Federal Education Budget Project at New America Foundation, will moderate.

“One critical piece to solving the economic recovery puzzle is shoring up the long-term prospects of federal student aid programs. Deficit reduction and budget deals must not be made on the backs of low-income students via short-sighted cuts to vital programs like the Pell Grant or increasing interest rates on subsidized Stafford student loans,” says NASFAA President Justin Draeger.

“Now more than ever we need a laser-sharp focus on what students need,” says Pamela Fowler, Chair of NASFAA’s Board of Directors and Director of Financial Aid at the University of Michigan. “For example, when it comes to financial aid award letters, the focus should be on what students and parents need to know in order to decide what’s best for them. Colleges need the flexibility to deliver this information in innovative and relevant ways.”

Issues for discussion include ensuring reasonable student loan interest rates, the need for transparency and appropriate consumer disclosure in award letters, and protecting the Pell Grant Program.

Student Loan Interest Rates

On July 1, 2012, the interest rate on subsidized student loans will double, increasing from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. This new rate, which is higher than the current market rate, will increase debt for the borrowers of these need-based loans. This means more students will turn to private loans with lower interest rates and forego important consumer protections that federally subsidized loans offer, like deferment, public service loan forgiveness and generous repayment options. President Barack Obama has offered some temporary relief by suggesting the interest rate not spike for at least another year, but this is at best a temporary fix. We must find a permanent, sustainable solution to providing low-cost, predictable federal loans to students and parents.

Consumer Disclosures

Award letters are received by millions of students every year to inform them about their financial aid award package and expected educations costs. Transparency and consumer disclosures are critical as families make decisions about financing a college education. While the review of current award letter practices is welcomed, it is best to avoid complete standardization, so that institutions may retain the flexibility to provide information that best suits their students. A single, standardized award letter would be problematic for institutions which are extremely diverse amongst themselves and in the types of students they attract. Standardized terminology and/or elements, rather than entire standardization, is better for students.

Student Aid Funding

As we speak, the Pell Grant, the cornerstone of the federal student aid programs, is helping more than 9 million of our nation’s low- and middle-income students access higher education. Without this grant, it is likely that many of them would not be able to attend college. Properly funding the student aid programs is an investment, not an expense, which will create more skilled workers, jobs and taxpaying citizens. After all, by 2018, nearly two-thirds of all jobs in the U.S. will require some form of postsecondary education or training, according to Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce.

Today’s Symposium also set the stage for the lobby day on Tuesday, March 6. Leaders from state and regional financial aid associations will meet with members of Congress to discuss the dire need for long-term solutions – versus short-term Band Aids – for the financial aid programs that are critical to ensuring U.S. competitiveness and college access and affordability for low-income students.

About NASFAA

The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) is a nonprofit membership organization that represents nearly 20,000 financial aid professionals at 2,800 colleges, universities, and career schools across the country. Each year, financial aid professionals help more than 16 million students receive funding for post secondary education. Based in Washington, D.C., NASFAA is the only national association with a primary focus on student aid legislation, regulatory analysis, and training for financial aid administrators.

Tuition keeps rising and student loans are crippling the future of so many young Americans. What is going on here? Student loans for college are largely a creature of federal intervention. Decades ago, politicians decided that it would be good to have more people go to college, and they created a system of grants and subsidized loans to make that possible.
