This book is incredibly helpful in explaining how to fill out the FAFSA and CSS. It also explains how to arrange your finances to your advantage before filling out the forms. I recommend reading it in your child's junior year (which I didn't do) as it would be more helpful in setting up your "base year" for college FA forms. It's easy to understand, easy to read, and really helpful. I highly recommend it for parents of students going to college.

This looks very helpful for someone needing to submit 2 FAFSAs and a CSS/PROFILE this year. Note that it doesn't have college-specific information; a better source for those statistics is the College Board's "Getting Financial Aid" handbook. But the advice on how to choose colleges, fill out the forms, and handle the offer follow-ups is much more complete in this book.

I just heard VA Tech is raising tuition rates by 9 point something for Fall 2011. My son told me, "An education that will lead to a fulfilling career is a good investment." If that isn't a good enough reason, it will get your kids going in the right direction and make them a well rounded individual. I'm just hoping for a good job and independent.
This is another reference that will guide students/parents through the financial part of college.
