financing your dream
Finding Free Money First
College costs have skyrocketed in the past few years. As a result, many students take out student loans to finance their education. But there are ways to pay for college without borrowing. Which of these options may help you do this?
- If your parents own a home, ask them to take out a home equity line of credit.
- Apply for scholarships and grants.
- Ask other family members to donate toward your education.
“B” is the best answer. The U. S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid provides grants, work-study, and loan funding for college or career school. Go to the FAFSA website to register and fill out a free application. Also check Sallie Mae’s free scholarship search site.
