"I can't speak highly enough about this book. As someone who completely failed at college, both academically and financially, this book was amazing! It made me feel empowered to go back to school and get a degree. It made me feel like I could actually succeed without creating a financial burden for my family. This is more than a simple step by step. The story told helps solidify the principles and ideas being taught."
– Stephanie Theobald, Parent

"This book is fantastic. I have read several financial books and this one easily takes the cake. I have already referred it to family members and friends, my homeschool co-op and when it is in hard copy we will keep more than one in our home. It is simply brilliant. ...It has a great story to guide you through, so it's an easy read, and it has easy to find synopsis info at the end of each chapter if you get lost in the story and need to go back for reference. This would have saved us a decade of stress if we had read it at the beginning of college or in high school. Thank you for taking the time to write it!"
– Kristy Burtenshaw LMT SI, Homeschool Parent and Business Owner

"Just by applying a couple of the principles I learned from him within a few minutes, I was able to save just over $2,000 that same day!"

About the Author:

When Steven C. Roberts arrived at college age, his sister was involved in a car accident. His parents were paying his sister’s medical bills and came to him and said in effect: “There’s no money for college. If you want to go you will need to figure it out. Good luck.” Steven had a few hundred dollars but wanted to go to college. “I can remember the feelings of uncertainty and anxiety questioning whether college was really for me,” Steven said. “This was a trying time for me as I didn’t know what to do or how to accomplish my goal. I just knew that attending college was a way to improve my life and held opportunities for me – but I didn’t want to go to college with debt. I just knew that I wanted to go.” In high school, Steven wasn’t a perfect student. He wasn’t involved in sports. He wasn’t on the debate team. He didn’t get involved in student government. Steven did not have the profile of many students who typically are thought of as candidates for scholarships. Steven did “figure it out.” He earned 35 scholarships and grants—including three prestigious scholarships, was a research assistant and teaching assistant, and was actually paid more money than what college cost. “I spent hundreds of hours – perhaps thousands of hours, trying to figure out what worked to pay for college. Not only did I find things that worked for me, I found resources that would help pay for college that anyone could use regardless of GPA or background.” When Steven got to industry, he found that coworkers were still paying student loans 10-15 years after finishing college. “This was really an eye-opening experience as I found that more and more people were being hurt by student loans,” Steven said. “At first, I thought people used student loans as a last resort, but I later learned that 70% of all college students ended up with a student loan. If people only knew a few simple resources, tips, and strategies, they could significantly reduce or eliminate the cost of their college.” Steven decided to make an impact and change this for others. That is when he authored: Winning the Money Game in College. After authoring the book, he has been sought out by over 600 radio stations and podcasts. Steven has spoken at colleges, high schools, libraries, businesses, and symposiums. Steven lives near Ogden, UT with his wife and children. He enjoys cooking, writing, teaching, studying religion and patriotism, and helping people pay for college.
