This clever, straight-talking handbook cuts through the clutter to give you practical, proven, money-saving strategies for paying for college.
Mitchell D. Weiss is a uniquely qualified guide. He’s an entrepreneur, banking executive, and college professor with a knack for translating complicated (and boring!) financial concepts into plain English. When it comes to financing higher education, Mitch has walked the talk: he put himself through college and grad school, and has helped his own two kids do the same.
Just as he did for his first book, Life Happens, Mitch draws the material for College Happens from his university courses, writings, and the lectures he gives around the country. He’s also incorporated dozens of links to informative and helpful articles, government and non-profit websites, and financial calculators.
