Free $ for College for Dummies
This book gives good tips on what payment plans do and don't work. Like how working during college to pay your expenses is a bad idea.
They also talk about scams, joining the military, athletic scholarships, and other means of reducing your tuition.
The best part of the book is how they help you discover what makes you unique and how to use that to win grants, scholarships, and discounted tuition.
After reading this Dummies book, I can now assist my friends and myself with getting free/discounted tuition.
Here are a few good tips provided in the book:
- Some states have early deadlines, so completing your FAFSA as soon as possible is a must. Most states funds require your FAFSA to be completed.
- No scholarships are guaranteed, so don't pay money to get a scholarship or for someone to find it for you because most likely it is a scam.
- Apply to many small scholarship because they have low competition, helps you winner bigger ones, and they can add up quite nicely.
- When applying to scholarship, presentation is the key. Attach a cover letter, print on high quality paper and contact the scholarship committee's office after your submission.
- College is a business, so you can negotiate a deal on your tuition. However finish college early because the price will keep on rising.
- You can get your student loans forgiven by working for a low income school for 3-5 years.
