The debt load that college students carry at graduation gets bigger each year and a lot of grant and scholarship money goes unclaimed. The Big Book Of College Scholarship And Financial Aid Information is an excellent reference from start to finish. It goes through the basics of financial aid and loans but it also contains a lot of detailed information on different types of scholarships and grants. This guide shows you where to apply, how to apply and when to apply. There is also a really helpful section devoted to each US State that contains state specific links.

Finding the money to go to college is the most frustrating thing unless your parents are rich and you can afford the best school in the country. If it were not for the money students would travel across the globe to go to the school that they wanted to. I think this is the kind of book that teachers need to give to high school students before they fun off to college. People say that money does not matter but I desagree because money governs many of the things we do today.
