cultivated over a quarter of a century, for comprehensive college planning principals applied in real-world situations. Career options, college selection, financial aid and scholarships are often uncertain aspects when starting off in life. Groleau's book helps parents, and students, realize what financial options are viable and what responsibilities accompany a scholarship.

John Groleau's book is an all-inclusive guide discussing various case studies related to its subject matter. "Our goal is to have every student THRIVE, and not just survive, in their college years, with as little financial burden as possible," states John Groleau. "Thirty seven percent of college freshmen do not return to school for their sophomore year. A majority of students attribute financial reasons as the number one factor for not completing their college education".

"Parents' College Survival Guide: Planning and Paying for College" allows a parent to
understand the financial process, and commitment, attending college requires. The book also helps dispel myths about financial aid, clarifies issues related to retirement nest eggs and helps parents fund college with minimal debt.
