Paying Less for College
The advice in most books is usually too limited or difficult to use. To solve this problem, I’ve combined the best ideas of over 100 books, experience of contributing experts, and interviews with financial aid and admissions officers into a simple step-by-step guide for parents titled:
Paying Less for College: How to Minimize College Costs and Maximize Financial Aid.
This book and companion guide will be published in September 2015, but much of the content is available for presentations to guidance counselors and parents at schools.
Other top selling books are below.
