Editorial Reviews

Product Description
As the cost of college steadily increases, paying for it requires insider strategies to maximize financial aid and minimize college costs. Paying for College Without Going Broke 2008 is thoroughly revised and updated to take the stress, confusion, and guess-work out of applying for financial aid.

The only book to include the latest financial aid forms and lists of annual changes in tax laws, it also shows students and their parents how to calculate their aid eligibility before applying to college and plan ahead to improve their chances of receiving aid. The book also includes advice on how to negotiate with financial aid offices, handle special circumstances (for single parents or independent students), and receive educational tax breaks. It is a must have for anyone concerned about the soaring costs of college tuition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Princeton Review and Random House Both Goofed!, December 25, 2007
Princeton Review and Random House both goofed with the 2008 edition: My copy of this book is missing pages, some are printed twice and some pages are out of sequence. The URL provided in this book for content updates and corrections by Princeton Review is bogus and returns a "page removed" error, not to mention that the overall maintenance of the Princeton Review website is very sloppy (...several dead links and much outdated content). For example, the Princeton Review bookstore website currently lists and sells only the 2004 edition of this book. With some 2008 college financial aid rules still in flux, Chany, Martz, Random House, and Princeton Review are letting buyers of the 2008 edition book down with poor quality control and by promising needed content updates online but providing a website link to nowhere instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, needed to read sooner, August 3, 2008
By TennisFan (Grosse Pointe, MI) - See all my reviews
This book had great advice in it and it made the process of filling out financial aid paperwork a lot easier. It helps you understand how to set up your finances so you don't sabotage your childs chances of getting scholarhips, grants & financial aid. The only problem is I should have read this years earlier instead of when my son was in 11th grade. Even then, I was still able to find helpful information and apply it to our situation. Advice - read when your child is young and then read the updated version every couple of years to see what has changed with the laws surrounding aid, trusts, 529's, etc.
