How to Go to College Almost for Free is a wonderful book, well-organized and easy to read. It's been a great help with college and scholarship applications.
 $90,000 and admission to Harvard January 11, 2007
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
The author earned $90,000 in scholarship earnings. It seems to reasonable that the author scored in the top 1 percent of his ACT and SAT scores which he fails to disclose. The guy was a brain. The author didn't spent large amounts of time on his scholar quest, but did apply for many prestigous merit scholarships. A fact that I liked about him because he demonstrated a williness to distinquish himself and high aspirations for merit. The theme could be "How I went to Harvard and was accepted; earned a degree in economics program; and a financial fortune coaching/mentor/cheerleading other people into similar tactics to get scholarship money.
On the other hand, the author does highlight a number of online resources to use for apply to scholarships like fastweb and scholarexperts. These online resources are convenient.
The book does not talk technically about grants, loans, and federal aid. The book does provide some helpful suggestions about preparing for essays, saving money, taxes, and scholarships of merit.
This is a fun book to read, but it is not a silver spoon to college.
Totally Free Is Even Better March 14, 2006

Ben Kaplan's book is great. I recommend it to all my students who are looking for financial help. I also tell my students to run by the possibility of the totally free college, West Point. You can learn about the significance of West Point to America by reading Norman Thomas Remick's, "West Point: Character Leadership Education..".
No one should ever need money for college November 2, 2005

I have done some extensive research and Ben Kaplan hits it right on the head. He shows you what you need to do to get money for college in the form of scholarships. He is the scholarship coach. I also have a very reliable source for students who are looking for money for college, realmoneyforcollege.com
Ben also talks about the mystery of financial aid and how it works. This specific aspect of college is often feared by many students and parents. How to go to college almost for free can also be titled: How to attend college with money in your pocket.
Make no mistake about it. If you are going looking for money look in this book first.
How to go to College Almost for Free August 26, 2005

I bought this for my grandson, he has already written in for several grants, and working on more. This is a great gift for any high school kid, and even kids in college. I don't believe the parents should go into debet for this, the kids will do much better if they have to work for it. I've seen to many parents almost go broke with several kids at college at the same time. They end up with nothing for retirement. Believe me, you need a nest egg.Take if from a grandma that has a great pension.
