Each year, Ben Kaplan reaches audiences of more than 30,000 students and parents through his acclaimed live seminar. Now for the first time, you can experience his life-changing presentation from the comfort of your own home--with a special emphasis on those strategies most important during the current financial crisis.
Ben's presentation cuts through all of the confusing regulations, mind-numbing jargon, and information overload to provide the inside scoop on the wonderful world of funding higher education. Instead of frustration, you will experience a paying-for-college epiphany--learning how to win merit scholarships, maximize need-based financial aid packages, invest funds in college savings plans, receive a tuition tax deduction, minimize student loan interest, and even slash tuition through free testing credits.
Unlike other financial aid presentations in which the expert seems removed
from the subject matter, students and families can relate to Ben’s real-life
story. Ben describes his own accidental discovery of college scholarships, and
relates the lessons and insights of the life-transforming experience that ensued.
As Ben likes to say, he has more than earned his Ph.D. in Scholarship Science
—a degree not from any college or university, but from "struggling
to pay for college first-hand."
Ben’s presentations have received widespread acclaim from students, parents,
and educators alike. Those attending the presentations often remark that Ben
not only provides a wealth of useful information, but does so in a way that
motivates and inspires. "Even if your kids won’t be attending college
anytime soon," writes one workshop attendee, "it's still worth
bringing them just to hear him speak and to experience Ben’s heartfelt
message about what’s possible with a little determination and hard work."

For each of these topics, Ben doesn't just present the material: He engages the viewer with a wide range of visual, auditory, and physical cues that make learning enjoyable.
