Hear what others have said about this book:

 

"Finding the Right Fit has arrived at the right time in these uncertain times in our country. Students, parents and guidance counselors will find pertinent, plainly written information on selecting the college/university that fits them and their financial circumstances. Ken drew from his own experiences as a student and father, and documented his 'homework' with research and information from authorities in various topics. Readers armed with information on the mysteries of acceptance into the institution of their choice, and knowledge on how to finagle financial assistance, will feel in command of their future.

This book should be given to all parents at the birth of their first child. That way they can avoid the pitfalls of purchasing the wrong college savings plan. They will be informed in chapters four and five on what financial planning they must implement. Students in junior high school should read the first three chapters. Guidance counselors must read this to gain information they were not taught in courses at their universities, to help student select the schools that are the right fit and to be of help to families when they ask about financing that education.

This is the best book that I have seen on college selection and financing that education."

LoRetta Tegarden - Retired Guidance Counselor, Hillsborough County Schools

 

"Taking the time to match my daughter's skill set via the Right Fit Program was extremely valuable. My family and I quickly learned to appreciate her strengths and changed our strategy to search for schools that complimented them. Our daughter is more confident and is focused to pursue a career she will be happy and productive in. The consolidating liabilities strategy (pg 105) is powerful and I applied it to my situation. My 14yr old will be following the same path this year."

William Messina - Parent

 

"Excellent analysis of the college problem with an easy-to-follow solution. The cost reducing tips are worth their weight in gold, your future retirement account will thank you."
Rick Darvis - CPA, Founder of the National Institute of Certified College Planners

 

"I have coached families, guidance counselors and college professionals for over 26 years, and can say that 'Finding the Right Fit' is at the very top of my list for insightful information. Ken has hit the nail on the head, it's about fit. This book is your very own personal guidance counselor."
Chuck Moore - Continuing Education Provider for HS Guidance Counselors

 

"As a legal professional and as a parent of three teenagers who will be applying to college, I found your book to be a superb resource. The insights and advice given are sound, practical and should help every student and their family in the hunt for the 'right fit' when applying to college."

D. Michael Lins - Attorney

 

"Finding the Right Fit is a must read for all parents of college bound students. The author is a modern day pied piper who leads you through the complexities of all college planning activities.

Walter Potthoff - Boeing Chief Engineer (Retired)

 

"Kenneth Albert's Right Fit Program book was quite informative and extremely helpful. The new saying in our house is '20 points may mean $32,000'. I appreciate the suggestions for other helpful reading as well. I think we will be referring to the book often this year and using it for my younger son as well."

Shannon Castor - Parent

 

"Ken Albert's book, Finding the Right Fit, was a true inspiration for the both of us. His stories and program helped direct our son down the right path in planning for his educational future. We strongly recommend this program in helping guide the high school student toward his or her best choices when it comes to their educational goals."

Douglas & Karen Phelps - Parents

 

"Ken's book is both informative and practical. His insights into the process of college admissions are a tool that can help your children suceed in college and in life. As an author myself, I know how difficult writing can be, but material like this needs to be in the consumers hands!"

Steve Strickland - Parent

 

"This is a fact-filled guidebook - a must read - for all junior/senior high school students contemplating college education, especially for those who need financial assistance. Besides providing a thorough analysis of various financial assistance programs the author through his personal experiences shows how students and parents should plan and prepare to qualify for financial aid. The book emphasizes the need for the student to take a ‘personality typing’ test to determine what particular field of study he/she should pursue. This can prevent a student from changing majors midstream thus finishing college in normal time rather than extending it one or more years.”
