<p>"How to Pay for College Without Going Broke" by Princeton Review is an excellent, and often recommended, book on preparing for the financial aid process. I've gone through it several times, and get the new edition each year before filing out the FAFSA.</p>

<p>About $13 on Amazon:</p>

<p>It can save you thousands. Dozens of strategies for maximizing need-based aid, legally. Get it.</p>

<p>sblake: Thx for posting the link for the book and the price. You said "I.....and get the new edition each year before filing out the FAFSA." How many are in college and how many to go?</p>

<p>Looks like you have quite a bit of experience and may be should ask many questions to you since I am first time.</p>
