College: Why Should You Pay For It?
Author Outlines Strategy for Landing Scholarships
RICHMOND, V.A. - Charles J. Phillips went to college for free. Now he shares the secrets of just how he did it in his new book, College: Why Should You Pay for It? I Didn’t.
In conversational, straightforward style, Phillips outlines the basic facts about receiving free money for higher education. In addition to motivation, one needs knowledge of funding sources, their positive and negative features and their requirements, Phillips says. He outlines the process for filling out scholarship applications and gives students an understanding of how each section of an application affects their chances of winning. Readers learn where to look for great opportunities, who – and who not – to go to for help and exactly what is needed to land free monetary aid.
Phillips also offers tips on how to make the transition from high school to freshman year go smoothly. Logic and real-life examples emphasize Phillips’ clear-cut strategies for having a successful and financially rewarding university experience. From advice about earning the best grades to establishing invaluable friendships with the employees in college scholarship offices, College: Why Should You Pay For It? I Didn’t alleviates some of the freshman-year anxieties and helps readers start stress-free college lives.
Phillips studied chemical engineering at Prairie View A&M University, where he attended for free and even earned thousands of extra dollars in scholarship money. He began working at Dupont immediately after graduation, and is still employed there. He also speaks to students around the country about how to earn money for college.
