{"product_id":"2940012704764","title":"The College Financial Aid Game - 2010","description":"The cost of college has steadily risen year after year, if fact, it seems to be in lock step with the rise in the national debt! In addition to the tuition rates, colleges are raising their fees, books, room and board, miscellaneous expenses non-stop and they think you can pay for it all as if your money grows on trees. Now you may have heard that the government and the colleges are there to help you, but this is not really the case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the topics I discuss early on in The College Financial Aid Game is how the whole government system of college financial aid is like a card game.  I also describe in detail why the deck is stacked against you, but the U.S. Department of Education and the colleges don’t want you to know that. In fact, they will tell you that they are there to help you and that you just need to trust them!\u003cbr\u003eHowever, they actually hide the real facts of their game, so that you will follow them blindly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe College Financial Aid Game provides a foundation for parents to understand how the entire process works in easy to understand terms. It allows you to see what you must do to position yourselves and your student so that you can receive the most in financial aid, not just student loans. My purpose is to teach you the basics along with what the financial aid forms are seeking. I provide you with short-term and long-term strategies to succeed and win this game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is differenet from most other college financial aid books as it is not about finding the best scholarships or schools, but rather what you can do to reposition yourselves to level the playing field and receive your REAL Fair Share.","brand":"College Planning Pathways","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081612214512,"sku":"2940012704764","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012704764_p0.jpg?v=1763571580","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012704764","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
