But before you sign on the dotted line, there might be some things you can do to cut your costs and even forestall the need for loans totally.

Did Someone Say "Books?"

According to Punxsutawney Phil, winter will be with us for at least another month or so. 

And what can be better in winter than hibernating with a good book? The parents in our Paying for College 101 Facebook group seemed to agree with us and engaged in a very lengthy discussion about the books they would recommend to parents who are starting their college admissions journey.

Here are some of their favorites.
Happy reading!

This special three-part webinar series will explore the details of the selection process, from both the college and the student/family side. 

How colleges evaluate students for admission and give out financial aid has a lot more to do with the college or university’s priorities than with whether or not your student is qualified. Deciphering the selection, merit scholarship, and financial aid processes has become even more important with the impact of the pandemic on college admissions and higher ed overall. 

As parents with a 9th, 10th or 11th graders, it's so important to understand the admissions and college funding processes in advance of the summer and fall of 12th grade.
