Why are college textbooks so overpriced? Many college book stores markup the price of textbooks by 200% or more! With college tuition and fees already exorbitantly high, seems the college should use common sense and reduce the markup price! Many students are having a difficult time paying tuition and fees and the high cost of textbooks assessed by school book stores. One way to meet this challenge is too order the textbooks from some online sources which tend to charge reasonable costs for these same textbooks. The only downside is the delay in receiving the textbook once it’s been ordered. Some websites may even stipulate the number of days in which you should receive the textbook, but don't hold your breath. We have sometime waited 2 to 3 weeks longer to receive ordered textbook material. Although the cost for online textbooks tend to be much less than those contained in college book stores, the cost differential benefit still out weights the downside. Some schools are also providing textbooks free to the student. This advantage helps the student save money and avoids time lost while waiting for the ordered textbook too arrive. ITI Technical Institute is one of these schools. It provides a $3500 education grant and free textbooks to students pursuing education and training in a host of technical job areas including Administrative Assistant, business Management, Call Center Specialist Certified Nurse Assistant, Child Daycare Management, Child Psychology, Computer Programmer, Computerized Accounting, Criminal Justice, Data Entry Operator, Drug Counselor, Early Childhood Specialist, Financial Accounting, Fitness Instructor, Help Desk Coordinator, Home Inspector, License Practical Nurse, Medical Billing Specialist, Medical Billing Transcription, Microsoft Expert, Microsoft Office Specialist, Network Technician, Oracle Application Analyst, Paralegal - Legal Assistant, Real Estate Appraiser, Social Work and WEB Site Developer. In addition to providing the education grant all textbooks, labs, supplies, etc are provided by the school thereby offsetting the high education cost many students encounter in the pursuit of their education goals.<
