Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx on L.A. Talk Radio interviewed Carol Stack & Ruth Vedvik, Co-Authors of Financial Aid Handbook.
The Financial Aid Handbook, a definitive, one-stop guide to the college selection and payment process, was written to cover everything from basic timelines and tuition costs to predicting your scholarship award from colleges. Included are tips on taking ownership of student debt after graduation. In today’s difficult economy, the book shows the reader how to get a college degree and get a great job.
Families and students will appreciate the straightforward language, engaging explanations, and hundreds of tips to maximize their financial aid-the scholarship funds that come from the colleges themselves. No other book on the market teaches students and parents how to find real, four-year scholarships…and how to land them. The Financial Aid Handbook is the only book families will need to find the right college at the right price.
