School After High School
Published by the Princeton Review, this book lists colleges and universities (but not trade or military schools) alphabetically, and provides basic student and faculty, academic, facilities, campus life, admissions, and cost/financial aid information. Each school is rated by the Princeton Review by admissions selectivity, fire safety, and green (environmental awareness and responsibility). A section called "School says" provides information directly from schools that have chosen to pay Princeton Review for inclusion, and a number of indexes (schools by alphabet, location, size, tuition, and selectivity) are included as well.
Published by the College Board, this book has four main sections. Financial Aid Step by Step takes you from a basic consideration of how financial aid will work for you, through choosing schools based on cost, filling out financial aid forms, looking for scholarships, to weighing offers and into your higher education years. Tables and worksheets provide help with planning, applications, and estimating cost. Financial Aid college by college presents an alphabetical list of schools with school codes, basic costs, financial aid picture summaries and procedures, and contact information. A glossary and scholarship lists (academic, art, athletic, music/drama, and ROTC) round out the book.
