How to Beat the High Cost of College
Last week I showed some of the different ways to think about financial aid as a means to understand -- and reduce -- the out-of-pocket costs of a particular college. This week, I want to share some of our research around some additional ways to reduce college costs. Several of these strategies have trade-offs, so it’s important for parents and students to start thinking early about their options. However, much like with financial aid, empowering yourself with knowledge will put you in a better position to help your son or daughter earn a college degree without some of the paralyzing costs.
