College advisors Anne M. St.Pierre and Danielle Printz published "The Simple Guide to College Admission & Financial Aid" with one goal in mind: to give high school students and their parents an easy to use resource to steer them through the complicated college admission and financial aid process.

"I've been surprised to find again and again that the biggest stumbling block for students going to college is not necessarily the rising cost of tuition, but a fear of how to navigate the complicated college admission and financial aid processes," said St.Pierre, who has been advising students since 1993.  "Many students are tempted to quit before they even get started."  

St. Pierre and Printz know first hand how intimidating the process can be; both were the first in their family to go to college. 

"That experience is what inspired me to become a college advisor," continued St. Pierre. "And this book is the culmination of over a decade of experience helping high school students achieve their higher education goals."

Printz adds, "Other resources tend to be lengthy and parents become even more overwhelmed. Our goal was to provide a resource that is comprehensive, concise and easy to use. We've had a wonderful response from readers."

According to a special study released in 2005 by the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, millions of students and adult learners who aspire to college are overwhelmed by the complexity of the student financial aid process.

"What sets this book apart is that it provides much more information than other resource guides  "especially when it comes to financial aid information," noted Winthrop High School guidance director, Betsey Remage-Healy.  "This is just the book I've been waiting for.  It's an excellent resource."  

"The Simple Guide to College Admission & Financial Aid" contains a lot of information most families are unaware of, such as:  how to save money on costly college application fees, successfully complete financial aid forms, maximize financial aid awards, and find the right scholarships.
