Download or read book Cutting Costs and Generating Revenues in Education written by Tim L. Adsit and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At no time in the history of public education has there been such a dramatic discrepancy between accelerated standards and expectations and adequate funding for our schools. Much has been written about how to achieve new expectations in the realm of student achievement. Much has also been written about the need for accountability and the restructuring of how education dollars are spent. Unfortunately, most of the input regarding the need for 'belt-tightening' is unaccompanied by any tangible solutions or suggestions and results only in hollow rhetoric or convenient political sound bytes. Tim Adsit and George Murdock's journey into meaningful avenues for cost-savings in public education is clearly an exception. In this book, readers will find many practical ideas for saving money, which can be readily implemented.

Download or read book Debt Free U written by Zac Bissonnette and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book can save you more than $100,000. These days, most people assume you need to pay a boatload of money for a quality college education. As a result, students and their parents are willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their entire financial futures just to get a fancy name on their diploma. But Zac Bissonnette is walking proof that this assumption is not only false, but dangerous-a class con game designed to rip you off and doom your student to a post-graduation life of near poverty . From his unique double perspective-he's a personal finance expert (at Daily Finance) AND a current senior at the University of Massachusetts-Zac figured out how to get an outstanding education at a public college, without bankrupting his parents or taking on massive loans. Armed with his personal knowledge, the latest data, and smart analysis, Zac takes on the sacred cows of the higher education establishment. He reveals why a lot of the conventional wisdom about choosing and financing college is not only wrong but hazardous to you and your child's financial future. You'll discover, for instance, that: * Student loans are NOT a necessary evil. Ordinary middle class families can- and must-find ways to avoid them, even without scholarships. * College "rankings" are useless-designed to sell magazines and generate hype. If you trust one of the major guides when picking a college, you face a potential financial disaster. * The elite graduate programs accept lots of people with non-elite bachelors degrees. So do America's most selective employers. The name on a diploma ultimately won't help your child have a more successful career or earn more money. Zac can prove every one of those bold assertions - and more. No matter what your current financial situation, he has a simple message for parents: "RELAX! Your kid will be able to get a champagne education on a beer budget!"

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK As you can see, it’s important to be creative and do thorough research in order to survive in the current system. Here’s a list of tools to get you started. Tuition Installment Plans Colleges require prompt payment before the quarter begins. However, when you need to stretch your dollar to accommodate schools, it is wise to turn to college tuition installment plans. If you are capable of paying a third of your tuition every month, for three months, you can effectively buy yourself time while you complete your courses. This will allow you to pay bills as they come, instead of having to rely on savings to get by, after you have paid a large sum up front. Installment plans can usually be arranged at your college's payment office. A fee of $15 is usually required for this service, though is not a particular standard. This pay may be tacked on top of the tuition. When this payment plan is arranged, you are usually required to pay the first payment up-front. You will not be allowed to continue until this is done. If you wait too long, your registered classes will get bumped for someone else who has already paid. Be careful if you are not able to pay this bill. Schools will send you into collections if you do not formally disenroll your courses. Buy a copy to keep reading!
