The College Savings Resource Guide

The College Savings Resource Guide is a comprehensive guide unlike any other. Designed to save the reader money from Pre-K to Senior Citizen. What sets this book apart from others is that we have done the research for you and provide you hyperlink access to the resources that you would otherwise have to search. For instance, while other authors may state, "Check Promise programs to determine which is most suited to your needs," we instead provide you instant hyperlink access to a database of all the Promise Programs nationwide. We have done that with all the resources on all the different topics.

Resources available include access to organizations that offer free tutoring at any age; free access to Microsoft Office 365 Education for those with valid school email addresses; tuition-free colleges; companies that provide free education benefits (some even for part-time employees). Grants, scholarships, loans, and student loan forgiveness programs. Ways to reduce student housing and food expenses. Unique mechanisms such as scholarships for children as young as 5-year of age; proprietary lists of organizations that will assist you in completing the FAFSA; access to databases of hospitals providing tuition assistance for medical students in exchange for a work commitment; and resources to assist in obtaining a sports scholarship are just a few of topics covered.

Readers can take a moment and read through the Introduction and the Foreword to illustrate your potential savings. With over 600 hyperlinks to information designed to save you money, there is something in this book for everyone. By expanding out the Table of Contents which are several pages long, you will see that we have tried to cover every expense and challenge that students encounter along the way. We know, because this book was developed from interviews, surveys, and questionnaires, of over 5000 students, teachers, parents, academic advisors, financial aid representatives, and school counselors. Written from the perspective of "If only I knew then, what I know now", this book illustrates successes and mistakes that students before you have made, so that you can learn from their experiences and save.
