ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Although Ben Kaplan is a Harvard-trained economist with ivory tower credentials, his presentation draws extensively from personal experience: As an Oregon high school student, he got admitted to his dream college and won more than two dozen college scholarships worth $90,000—enough to attend Harvard virtually for free.

Based on his personal success story plus hundreds of in-depth interviews, Ben’s session covers the following topics and much more:

How ALL students can win scholarships, regardless of GPA.
How to maximize need-based financial aid.
How to save and invest for college even with a tight budget.
How to secure hidden tax benefits for higher education.
How to obtain student loan discounts and deals.
How to score a sports scholarship, even if you’re not a superstar.
How to slash 25 percent off of college costs using “free tuition credits.”
How to save big on student travel, computers, and other expenses.

Special emphasis will be placed on scholarships, resources, and opportunities specifically available for high school students, college students, grad students, adult non-traditional students, and the parents of young kids who wish to get an early start.

Based on our innovative "pajamas workshop" format, you'll be able to attend this workshop from the comfort of your own home--either by watching live via the Internet or by listening in via telephone. You'll also be able to submit your questions in real time for Ben to answer during the workshop's final Q&A period. We'll e-mail you the website link and the phone number for this workshop two days prior to the event.

And feel free to wear your pajamas.... Ben will be wearing his PJs, too!
