 (7 customer reviews)

I am a financial aid director and this book will really help families with the financial aid process. It's easy to read and the information is right on!

This book can really help first time parents with the college funding process!

College Gold is written in plain language and is logically organized. The book is an excellent resource manual that provides essential information in a user-friendly manner. As a HS Guidance Director, I especially recommend College Gold for students and parents just starting out, with little or no knowledge of what lies ahead. Planning and savings suggestions are quite sound as are the sections on evaluating aid "packages," making monetary decisions, and avoiding scams. Overall, I'd rate College Gold as one of the better comprehensive financial aid guides on the market today.

When I received my financial aid package from the university I attend I took tips from this book and applied it in a letter to the university's financial aid office. My aid money was literally doubled!! This year I have my tuition, fees, room, and board - all entirely paid for!! I am telling the whole truth here and have the financial aid award letter to prove it also! Okay, so getting more aid money was not necessarily easy work.. you got to read the book, think through your strategy, and keep on it persistently. Its worth all the work especially when you walk away with thousands of dollars that you will never need to pay back! Yes theres a God who helps you in this effort, but you too must apply your efforts in the synergistic endeavor to gain max $$$ possible.
