About this ebook
The cost of college tuition weighs on the minds of most parents. The problem is that there is no real good answer to “How much is it going to cost”? The only way to really know how much a school is going to cost is by waiting until your student has been accepted and has received a financial aid package.
I have three children currently in college. Being divorced and the sole financial provider for the kids, I have made it a hobby to try to save on the cost of higher education however I could. My three kids have a wide variety of interests, are all incredibly intelligent, and are all driven to succeed in their chosen fields. I did not want to limit their progress by forcing them to choose schools just based on price. By using the techniques identified in this book, we have significantly reduced the overall costs of the schools they ultimately chose. I hope they can work for you as well.

I am a mom of three kids. They couldn't be more different in their interests, but they are all pursuing their individual dreams. They are all starting by attending great schools that will help them attain their goals. I am single, and am trying to help them in any way that I can. Since the kids were all born one year apart, I have had a lot of experience in the past several years with looking for colleges and helping the kids find ways to finance their education. I am hoping that my ebooks can help other parents save money and help guide their children.
