Avoid Student Loans: A guide for maximizing scholarship earnings and making smart financial decisions during college (Volume 1)

Avoid Student Loans is a revolutionary book where a personal finance expert and a recent college graduate come together to offer you exclusive advice on how to make sure your college education is an investment rather than a liability (requiring large loan payments for 10 years or more after graduation.) In this book you’ll learn ways to reduce your cost of college, win more scholarships, and make smart financial decisions while in college. Following this easy-to-read guide can lead you to landing in a much better place after graduation, well ahead of your peers, and without the ball and chain of a large loan payment.
