Reviews
"A gem of a book ... ought to be on the shelf of every high school guidance counselor in the country. How to Pay for College is only slightly larger than a paperback and a bit more than a half inch thick, yet the editors who pulled the information together manage to cover more material than books that are four times larger and twice as expensive."
--Gail Buckner, FOXBusiness
"Patrons will enjoy these
simple but well-organized
tools addressing that audience
of novices who need help
navigating the career or
scholarship resources of their
public libraries ... These books should be in
every public library, and, given
the cost, in high school libraries
as well. Full disclosure: I’m
going to recommend them to our
College Success course faculty as
potential textbooks."
--Catholic Library World
