Book excerpt: “The College Solution helps readers look beyond over-hyped admission rankings to discover schools that offer a quality education at affordable prices. Taking the guesswork out of saving and finding money for college, this is a practical and insightful must-have guide for every parent!” —Jaye J. Fenderson, Seventeen’s College Columnist and Author, Seventeen’s Guide to Getting into College “This book is a must read in an era of rising tuition and falling admission rates. O’Shaughnessy offers good advice with blessed clarity and brevity.” —Jay Mathews, Washington Post Education Writer and Columnist “I would recommend any parent of a college-bound student read The College Solution.” —Kal Chany, Author, The Princeton Review’s Paying for College Without Going Broke “The College Solution goes beyond other guidebooks in providing an abundance of information about how to afford college, in addition to how to approach the selection process by putting the student first.” —Martha “Marty” O’Connell, Executive Director, Colleges That Change Lives “Lynn O’Shaughnessy always focuses on what’s in the consumer’s best interest, telling families how to save money and avoid making costly mistakes.” —Mark Kantrowitz, Publisher, FinAid.org and Author, FastWeb College Gold “An antidote to the hype and hysteria about getting in and paying for college! O’Shaughnessy has produced an excellent overview that demystifies the college planning process for students and families.” —Barmak Nassirian, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers For millions of families, the college planning experience has become extremely stressful. And, unless your child is an elite student in the academic top 1%, most books on the subject won’t help you. Now, however, there’s a college guide for everyone. In The College Solution, top personal finance journalist Lynn O’Shaughnessy presents an easy-to-use roadmap to finding the right college program (not just the most hyped) and dramatically reducing the cost of college, too. Forget the rankings! Discover what really matters: the quality and value of the programs your child wants and deserves. O’Shaughnessy uncovers “industry secrets” on how colleges actually parcel out financial aid—and how even “average” students can maximize their share. Learn how to send your kids to expensive private schools for virtually the cost of an in-state public college...and how promising students can pay significantly less than the “sticker price” even at the best state universities. No other book offers this much practical guidance on choosing a college...and no other book will save you as much money! • Secrets your school’s guidance counselor doesn’t know yet The surprising ways colleges have changed how they do business • Get every dime of financial aid that’s out there for you Be a “fly on the wall” inside the college financial aid office • U.S. News & World Report: clueless about your child Beyond one-size-fits-all rankings: finding the right program for your teenager • The best bargains in higher education Overlooked academic choices that just might be perfect for you

Download or read book How To Get Free Money For College! written by Trevor Ramos and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the best introduction to getting free money scholarships and grants. It is a "must read" for the parents of college-bound high school students who don't want to blow all their money on college tuition and expenses. Parents of college-bound high school students often ask when the best time is to get free money in the form of scholarships and grants to help pay for college. The answer is simple, but how you get to the answer is not. The best time to get the free money you are seeking to help pay for your students college education is January, February, and March of their senior year. That's the time when the colleges and universities are flush with scholarship and grant money. When the "free money" gets low, or is gone, it naturally becomes increasingly difficult to get any free money. In fact, if you wait too long, the only way to get money for college is through student loans and parent loans. This is an easy (but unbelievably expensive) way to pay for college. Why? It's expensive because you (or your child), could easily pay an additional $50,000 to $100,000+ in interest and finance charges. The not so simple answer to this question often shocks parents: Your best chance of getting the big money actually starts between the 7th and 10th grades. Some parents gasp when they find out. That's because they think that the 11th grade is the appropriate time to start planning for college. In the old days this was probably true. However, today everything has changed. The cost of college is much more than it ever was in the past. In fact, it's such a huge investment to get a college degree ($100,000 to $200,000+), the only thing more expensive in life will be the purchase of a family home in a nice neighborhood, or paying for a catastrophic illness if you have no health insurance. If you have a college-bound high school student, you are in for a big financial surprise. It'll be a big surprise because you and your student are going to have to come up with $20,000 to $60,000 PER YEAR, until your student graduates. If you are lucky and have really good student, this will be 4 consecutive years. For not so lucky parents and students, this could easily drag out to 5-7 years. If you don't have the money to throw at this "cash-eating monster," you are going to have to borrow the money through student loans, second mortgages, or dip into your retirement savings. Or, you can simply tell your student that the only way they are going to college is to get student loans or to go to a community college and start with an AA degree. There are billions of dollars of free money scholarships and grants available to all college-bound high school students. The problem is that most parents are too busy living their lives, raising their families, and earning a living to take the time and expertise to find out where all this money is and how to get it. This is where this book can help you. If you are sincerely interested in sending your kids to the top colleges in America for pennies on the dollar, please read this book right away and be prepared to learn ways you can get free money scholarships and grants to cover the costs, and which colleges and universities are most likely to give your student money to attend their school.

This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 8th-graders, freshmen and sophomores, here's what to do now. For juniors and seniors, here are details about the tests, the applications, admissions factors, financial aid, essays, interviews and college selection. Checklists are provided for each year of high school. A comprehensive checklist for the application for each college is provided. It is a reference book for these many details for when you need them. Use some chapters now, and come back to other chapters later, even in a year or more. For 8th- and 9th-Graders, get a great start on high school by seeing what to do your freshman and sophomore years, so you're not behind in junior and senior years. Which colleges are realistic? Which are affordable? Do not count any of them out yet. Can you get a great degree without a huge debt? Sure, if you make the right choices. These topics are covered: - How to get college-ready and admissions-ready; - Benefits of community colleges and public - colleges; - Selective admissions factors and expectations; - Activities, internships and sports; - Practice for standardized tests and subject tests; - Application checklists and procedures; - Financial aid and cost comparisons; - Meeting admissions officials; and - Essays and interviews. After knowing more, students and parents can better discuss and think about all these factors to decide if college is indeed the best option, and what type of college is best. The book explains the basics, and moves into detailed information that you may not need right away, but probably will use later. It has handy reference pages containing checklists, testing rules, calendars, admissions statistics, college degree levels, and websites to use, so you don't have to look everything up yourself. You don't have to remember everything now. You can go back to the book again and again when you need the information. For the maze of selective college applications, admissions and choices, the Starter Guide explains the basics, and then provides a detailed analysis of the situation, presents a detailed plan of action and points you to the some of the best sources for even more information to complete a serious run for the Ivies and the other top 50 to top 150 colleges. But the great options of public colleges aren't neglected, as the benefits of community colleges, public honors colleges, tuition discounts in nearby states, affordable regional colleges and flagship universities are explained. Finances and financial aid are covered, with estimates of what to expect from both public and private colleges, with examples for various household income levels. Students and parents will find advice on how to meet admissions staff. Learn how to build an impressive record based on what the colleges are looking for. Students will find practical advice on how to make the best impression with their attire, conversational interactions, paperwork and correspondence. Learn which questions to ask and how to best convey your story, while knowing what things to avoid doing (and there are a few). High school guidance counselors will like the reference information on testing (test by test, 8th grade to 12th grade, in reference summary pages) and admissions statistics. The book covers test schedules, reporting, fees, fee waivers, test cancellation procedures, information websites, admissions events, admissions statistics for 120 colleges in one spot (the publisher looked them up and calculated them so you don't have to). See about fine print admissions details, like the lowest test scores for admissions at a college. The Starter Guide to College for Clueless Students & Parents is a good value. It doesn't have to be read all at once, but can guide a student and the parents as time passes, even loaned to others.
