5.0 out of 5 starsThe Book to Read (Study in Fact,) if You are Contemplating Financial Aid
By TS on July 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I ordered this book a couple of months back for a friend whose daughter is starting college in September. I skimmed through it, just for memories, when it arrived. I noticed that it had even more material than when my son was in college. I got this book 4 years in a row while he was going to college. Believe me, just the section on how to correctly answer the FAFSA questions makes it worth it. Some of those FAFSA questions are not really asking what most people think they are asking. The book is even more useful if you are in a "special" situation (divorce, business situation, etc.) I recommend that you read a copy a few years before your son/daughter's freshman year for planning purposes. Some of the "recommendations" that you get from so called experts on TV and in popular magazine articles are totally off and implementing them would be like shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to financial aid. The book gives it to you straight. It takes all the mystery out. You will know how much you deserve and qualify for before hand. You will know what mistakes not to make.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhy didn't I look at this earlier?
By Amazon Customer on May 21, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
We are fast approaching college and feel the squeeze, while we haven't ignored it - the reality is harder than anticipated. I wish we had been more proactive overall. Would recommend parents to take their kids on college tours at younger ages even, as we visited one with our junior and took our 6th & 7th grade kids. I daresay the younger ones got as much, if not more, out of it. Who knew? They started thinking long term, which was fun to experience.

Good information about paying for college. We were able to use the book to reorganize our money during our child's junior year to be in a good shape for her college years from the advise of the author.

5.0 out of 5 starsExtremely Informative
By Joann Howes on September 24, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
For parents of college bound teenagers this book is absolutely invaluable. It would take months of research to compile all of this information. Believe me parents, everything has changed since you went to college. I'd recommend reading it when your child is a high school sophomore and re-reading it the following year.

By Ronald Stancil on March 6, 2013

This publication is an excellent guide to making sure that our kids achieve their educational goals and that parents avoid depleting their nest eggs to accomplish this goal. A concise guide to the technicals and the practicals. A must read-many times over.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood ideas; not helpful in MY situation
By dd on July 19, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A friend & my child's high school career center recommended this title. If you are a parent who has resources for your child's higher education, this book will be very helpful. I am a single parent with no assets or college savings. This book had a very short chapter (NO index so it was hard to locate specific information) for single parents & it assumed assets. There is a small section towards the end for those with few assets. The primary focus of the book is how to maximize your ability to pay for college & get financial aid, especially if you have a house, dual parent income, college savings, or other financial resources. It also has long term planning sections, so even if your child is young, it's worth looking through for the ideas on how to deal with college in the future. My suggestion would be to check your local library for the title or borrow it from someone first to see if it will meet your needs.

I enjoyed this book because it was easy (relatively speaking) to read and comprehend. College can be a nightmare of a process- this lightened the load a bit.

This will definitely save us money on college tuition. Great advice throughout. Lots of details that colleges and high school counselors don't share with you!
