My Review

5 stars

After high school the next step is college. College can be very expensive depending on what school you want to attend and what career you will be going for. There are grants and such that make schooling less expensive but there is quite a process to get these grants because you are not the only one applying for them. Questions? Yeah, a ton. Where should I begin? Check out his book.

After going through school and becoming several thousand dollars in debt I wish I would have known about this book. It talks about everything from how to build you resume, writing essays, when to apply, interviews, and so much more. There is quite a process to go to schools and getting the financial aid. This book walks you through every step.

I love how this book applies to everyone, kids, parents, and even adults. Although it applies more to kids in school you could easily modify the steps for those of us having to go back to school. It’s written is a simple, no nonsense way, and makes a lot of sense.

If you are looking to go back to school I strongly recommend checking out this book. It will make a big difference in your pocketbook.

I received The Scholorship Game from NBN Books for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
