5 Steps to Make College More Affordable


Research!

Visit a variety of different colleges and universities.
All colleges have different prices, so look into as many as you can.
Also, many colleges have online tours you can take on their school’s home webpage.


Study!


Some colleges will offer more financial aid to those
students with higher test grades and scores. It is never too early or
late to turn your grades around


Save!


Saving even the smallest amount of money on a regular
basis can have a dramatic impact on your college options. Did you know if you save $5 a week for four years, you will have over $1,000?


Talk!


Those that have gone to or who are currently enrolled in college
can provide insight on the process and help you along the way.


Meet!!
