About the Book

This guidebook offers advice for accessing college as well as money-saving tips for first-generation students. It also features on-campus survival tips for adult learners. One often doesn't consider these until they are going through the college experience. After all, sometimes we don't know what we don't know.

The guidebook highlights how to prepare for and approach the application process, as well as how to keep costs low while navigating life on campus. It also offers tips on how to be successful as a student. In the back of the book are resources and a scholarship planning section to help you put a plan together, with a timeline in place.

I began as a non-traditional student with a 19-year gap between high school and college. I had no college connections when I enrolled in my local community college, College of the Canyons, in Valencia, California. There I secured scholarships and funding for my transfer to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I graduated from both schools with honors and made the Dean's List. This was inconceivable at the time considering my mediocre high school grade point average (GPA).

At College of the Canyons, I earned two associate's degrees in liberal arts. One with a focus on social and behavioral sciences and the second in science and humanities. Next, I completed my bachelor's degree in communication and anthropology at UCLA, then obtained a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, an Ivy League institution. I accomplished this with minimal student debt in consideration of the tuition cost at these schools. I learned so much along the way. I wish I had someone in my life who could have guided me, based on their own college experience.

Attending college enhanced my life in more ways than one and I forever changed the dynamic of my family tree for future generations. If you're ready to pursue higher education but want to do so with a minimal amount of student loan debt, there are tips, tools, and some helpful anecdotes in this guidebook to make the process easier and more cost-effective for you.

Think of me as your first-gen friend.
