In this updated version, financial aid consultant Howard Freedman demystifies the college selection process for students and their families while providing a roadmap to help them navigate the maze of financial requirements and understand the best approaches to make informative, value-added decisions.

Navigating College Costs

Employing a witty—even humorous—style, Making College Happen offers real-world, expert advice to help readers define goals and secure the financial resources needed. “Making College Happen can help students and their families gain clarity on what can often be an overwhelming journey, from choosing the right schools and other options, while understanding financial aid opportunities,” said Freedman, who founded Financial Aid Consulting in 2002.

“With this new edition, I wanted to dive deeper into several critical topics, including maximizing financial aid opportunities, the best financing choices, college visit evaluation strategies, financial assistance appeals, and seeking employment after graduation. “This latest edition also reflects recent changes in the financial aid landscape, including the redesign of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and updates to the calculations and analysis,” Freedman said.

Empowering Students

“As with previous editions, Making College Happen offers clear, actionable steps to help students and their families understand and enjoy the journey to college.
