Reducing your tuition bill
When scholarships, grants, loans, and alternative funding still aren't making tuition costs manageable, there are ways you can lower your child's tuition bill.
Turn to colleges for help
If you work for a college, many schools provide scholarships to children of employees, while others may support the children of alumni.
Do you qualify for a two-for-one tuition deal?
If your children are close in age and want to attend the same college, you may qualify for a two-for-one deal. See if your college offers a sibling discount.
Community colleges are a great way to complete two years of education for less than one-third the price of a four-year college. Many four-year colleges offer automatic admission and scholarships to community college students who transfer into their schools.
