SUMMARY:We Read it For You! - The Price You Pay for College by Ron Lieber
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Price You Pay for College\, by Ron Lieber \nThe hugely popular New York Times Your Money columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for college—a decision made even more confusing because of the Covid-19 pandemic.\nSending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100\,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile\, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple—over $300\,000. With the same passion\, smarts\, and humor that infuse his personal finance column\, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. \nLieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid\, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers. \nWhile price is essential\, value is paramount. So what is worth paying extra for\, and how do you know when it exists in abundance at any particular school? Is a small college better than a big one? Who actually does the teaching? Given that every college claims to have reinvented its career center\, who should we actually believe? He asks the tough questions of college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers that parents don’t know (or are afraid) to ask and summarizes the research about what matters and what doesn’t. \nFinally\, Lieber calmly walks families through the process of setting financial goals\, explaining the system to their children and figuring out the right ways to save\, borrow\, and bargain for a better deal. \nThe Price You Pay for College gives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.

SUMMARY:We Read it For You! - The Ultimate College Financial Aid Guide
DESCRIPTION:You’re doing everything right in the college application process–researching school fit\, crafting the perfect essays\, and tracking deadlines. But there’s one major factor that remains opaque: financial aid. \nYou’re staring at a confusing maze of acronyms\, numbers\, and fine print that could determine whether your dream education becomes a reality or a financial nightmare. \nHere’s a sobering truth: only 40% of students who start college actually graduate in four years\, and finances play a crucial role in that statistic. The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t often comes down to one critical factor – truly understanding how to navigate the financial aid system. \nWe Read It for You is a summer book webinar series for parents who want to better understand the college planning process without having to read every book on the shelf.  Each session includes:\n• A summary of one relevant college planning book\n• Key insights and how they apply to your student’s journey\n• A live Q&A with an advisor\n• Real-world context from those working with families every day \n

SUMMARY:We Read it For You! - Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be by Frank Bruni
DESCRIPTION: What if everything you’ve heard about the life-changing power of an Ivy League education is just wrong? Frank Bruni shatters the illusion that only elite colleges can unlock success\, offering a refreshing antidote to the anxiety and frenzy that dominate today’s college admissions landscape.  \nDrawing on anecdotes\, statistics\, and profiles of accomplished individuals who did not attend elite schools\, Bruni exposes the flaws in the college admissions mania and the rankings that fuel it. He argues that a student’s effort\, passion\, and resilience matter far more than the name on their diploma\, and that a fulfilling\, successful life can be achieved at a wide range of colleges\, not just the most selective ones. The book reassures students and parents that true achievement is shaped by character and determination\, not by the prestige of an alma mater. \nWe Read It for You is a summer book webinar series for parents who want to better understand the college planning process without having to read every book on the shelf.  Each session includes:\n• A summary of one relevant college planning book\n• Key insights and how they apply to your student’s journey\n• A live Q&A with an advisor\n• Real-world context from those working with families every day \n
