Scholarships
The future can get expensive...especially when higher education is involved. College comes with innumerable advantages, for a price.
While college can be expensive, it does not have to be paid for completely out of pocket. Many local and national foundations offer grants and scholarships, as well as colleges/universities themselves. The counselor's office is the best place to look for any scholarship or grant information, but here is a jumping off point to use.
