There are many ways to offset college costs. These include:
Applying for grants. These are need-based and don’t need to be repaid. Submitting your FAFSA is a great place to start.
Apply for scholarships. These are merit-based, but also don’t need to be repaid. See our tips above on how to apply for scholarships.
Work for your college. Some colleges offer reduced or even free tuition for workers.
Take out student loans. Loans need to be repaid but can be a huge help in postponing the cost of college.
