College Financial Aid

Ways to Pay for a College Education

There are numerous ways to pay for a college education.  Some of the typical ways are:

  • financial aid....borrowing money from lenders (banks, relatives, government, etc.) 
  • scholarship (academic/athletic)...using available money that is earmarked for such a purpose as your education
  • employer-paid...(many companies and businesses understand the advantage of having employees that are continually growing and expanding their knowledge/skills/abilities (KSA)).
  • one's personal savings 
  • state/taxpayer supported means (e.g. state lotteries)
