Balancing detailed explanations with real-life examples and practical resources, the featured topics include finding and winning scholarships, requesting a reassessment from colleges for more financial aid, maximizing assistance from state and federal governments, taking advantage of educational tax breaks, and benefiting from government-subsidized student loans. Creative strategies—such as starting profitable dorm-room enterprises, trading tuition costs for volunteer service, and canceling debts with loan-repayment programs—help students find extra money when more traditional routes are exhausted.

by Mr. Joshua Platt and Mr. Jacob Chiofalo

Often students fall through the cracks at the well-known schools, but the Colleges That Change Lives are nurturing environments that do not let students become just a number. These schools have much better track records for having their students accepted into first choice graduate programs. Even though some of these schools have become quite popular from inclusion in this book, they still accept other than straight A students, because they firmly believe in the learning experience gained from the academic mix of students.
