Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century presents some remarkable challenges for young people looking to make their way in the world. All the good jobs require at least a college degree and many of them require post-graduate work. At the same time, the costs of education are skyrocketing leading students to pile up enormous levels of debt. It's no way to begin a life. I didn't want that for my son, and I don't believe I'm alone. That's why I wrote The Scholarship Shark-to help parents help their children pay for college. I went through this process with my son recently, and we were-with God's help-able to come up with $700,000 in scholarships that pay for his undergraduate work and graduate school and I've found that the way to win a scholarship isn't to apply for everything in sight, but to target those that fit who your son or daughter is, and what they want to do and to go after them hard. The Scholarship Shark offers a roadmap that will allow parents, guidance counselors, and others who mentor students to use a use a combination of faith and works to zero in on the right scholarship opportunities regardless of GPA, class rank, or test scores. The book is a combination of hardcore advice and our family's personal testimony of how we made this happen, and how God helped us. Getting a child through college-not to mention graduate school-without a mountain of debt is a modern day miracle. It happened for us, and it can happen for you.
