Dear Parent,

I'm sure you're not very different from me.

For most of us, the initial exposure to sending our children to college can be a daunting experience at best.

And for those of us who can't afford to send our child to the university they deserve, there's also quite a bit of disappointment.

I'd like you to look at parts of two chapters in my book about how this book came about. It won't cost you anything to read. I promise.

How This Book Was Born

During the latter part of 2000, when the economy started to turn sour, my computer business started to soften.

With the tragic events of 9/11, many of the opportunities I had relied on in the Wall Street area disappeared.

To make matters worse, this was the same time that my son was about to start applying to college.

I started out writing this guide because I was overwhelmed by information about how I could afford to send my son to college.

-Top -

Every college web site provided almost the same financial aid information.

They took me to the same sites.

They offered me the same advice.

When my son went to his high school guidance counselor, he took home over two-dozen magazines and newsletters.

Together we spent months on the Internet and one day realized that a government guide, written by the U.S. Department of Education, answered dozens of our questions.

We also purchased a popular book that walked us through the process of filling out the popular CSS Profile and FAFSA financial aid forms.

Days later we found the same advice on the Internet.

But what I discovered was that not everything you need to know to finance your child's education is out there on the Internet.

I spent months speaking to financial aid officers at many universities and discovered that just filling out the CSS Profile and FAFSA financial aid forms and meeting some deadlines is only half the battle in acquiring college Pell grants, college need-based grants, and Federal Stafford and Perkins loans.

Knowing the right questions to ask, and knowing who to ask led me to information not available through the high school guidance counselors or the many web sites of the colleges my son applied to.

That is how this book was born.

This is not a large cumbersome book.

This is an interactive guide.

A kind of cookbook with parents and students in mind so you don't have to hire a 'professional' college financial aid planner and pay an exorbitant fee to tell you where to go to apply for grants for college students or find free college scholarships to supplement whatever the free grant money for college does not cover.

I'm not going to repeat everything that's already out there, but I will tell you where those grants for college students are and give you the direct web links to where you need to go to get free money for college.

So how did I write this book?

I scoured the Internet.

I contacted college financial aid officers throughout the United States.

I read many of the 'so called' college 'financial aid experts' and spent months taking notes.

Those are the notes that I have fashioned into this interactive guide.

I'll come right to the point!!!

I will also give you insight into why different colleges receiving the same financial information from you (FAFSA financial aid form, CSS Profile form, personal and business tax returns, etc.) put together college financial aid packages with awards that are significantly different.

And that insight will come from the college financial aid officers themselves.

I am by no means an expert on college financial aid.

I am merely a father who has become an expert on where to find college financial aid out of necessity.

You'll be surprised at what I've found.

"An interactive guide like this does not exist anywhere; I was absolutely blown away. Using the techniques I found in Barry Simmons' book, I was able to send my son to college with virtually no money. I mean almost none!!! The way in which I was taken by the hand and led through the bureaucracy of financial aid forms, federal grants and loans, and a sea of web sites literally saved me months. Most people simply fill out the free FAFSA application form and think that's all to do. Boy, was I mistaken. If I had this book when my daughter went to college, I not only would have saved thousands of dollars, she would have gone to the university she wanted ". Ken C.

Here are just some of the amazing secrets, tips and techniques this book will teach you:

  How to unravel the maze of college and financial aid web sites and show you in a concise, step-by-step manner how even a person with no savings, no stocks, no bonds, a large mortgage and large credit card debt can send his child to college with almost no money.

  How college financial aid offices actually determine what federal aid (college Pell grants, Stafford and Perkins loans etc.), and state grants will be given out to potential students so you will know in advance how to prepare yourself to receive the maximum amount for your child's college education.

  Dispel the myth that schools are 'need blind' and provide, in their own words, how university administrators discriminate against early admission students looking for college financial aid, including free grants and scholarships and college grants for minority students.

  Provide you with 4 actual financial aid offers, that a high school senior received in the spring of 2003, with college financial aid packages that were significantly different; even though the schools looked at the same financial information, and tell you why they're different.

  Tell you how Stafford and Perkins loans that you've received can be forgiven (canceled) years after you've received them.

  Direct you to so many college scholarship programs that your head will spin. You'll be taken to college scholarship application sites for every conceivable area you can imagine. College athletic scholarships, and those for academics, special needs and college scholarship applications for every conceivable religion.

  You'll also be directed to college grants and scholarship search engines that will e-mail you when new college scholarship applications become available and which ones are nearing their expiration dates so you can quickly apply.

  I will tell you 4 financial aid myths that are commonly accepted as fact and will completely change the way you think about preparing your finances for your child's education.

I will tell you why a scholarship for college students doesn't necessarily place money into the students lap. Many colleges make them disappear, which is why grants for college education funding is preferred.

Dear Parents,

This book will soon sell for $79.00.

This is the last release that will sell for $29.00 + all bonuses free.

That's an extraordinary offer when you consider the cost of a 4-year college education today.

To get an idea of the enormous costs of these schools, go directly to the college sites on the Internet and look at some of the listed costs that include tuition, room and board, books and supplies, and living expenses. Don't bother, I did it for you.

• Harvard University - $42,850;
• New York University - $41,105; and
• Yale University - $39,520.

It really doesn't matter if it's an Ivy League school -

• Tufts University comes in at $37,331;
• Syracuse University , $35,227; and
• Northwestern University , a whopping $40,263.

Let's be honest, most of us are not Bill Gates. Most of us can not afford to spend $100,000 to $150,000 on a college education.

And most of us cannot afford to spend $1000 to $1500 to have a paid service help us fill out a free FAFSA application form and advice us on how best to leverage the free Pell grants, college athletic scholarships, and much of the free grant money for college students that has been made available.

This is one offer that you must not pass up. Do it for your child or do it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
