About the book
Ben Kaplan
Back when Ben Kaplan was a student, he didn’t have a clue how to get admitted to his dream college, afford big-time
tuition bills, succeed in the studies, or chart a path to his dream career. So he researched every educational
resource,
tracked down every scholarship lead, and interviewed hundreds of other successful students, too.
The result? Kaplan attended Harvard virtually for free and became a successful entrepreneur, speaker, higher
education
advocate, and CEO.
In Scholars & Dollars, he’s finally written the book that shows you how to do it, too.
From strategies to unlock educational opportunities and accelerate career possibilities to tactics for supersizing
financial aid and saving on related expenses, Kaplan helps you achieve similar educational, financial, and career
success — whatever your personal definition of that success may be.
