2 more ways to find money for college students:
Here are for more ways that a student can save tons of money in financial aid in paying their college tuition.
1. Lock in tuition: Are you tired of the college tuition costs shooting up each year, and finding yourself as a student having to pay more and more money for college every year? Then you should see if the option is available to lock in a single tuition rate for all four years of college.
By doing this, the tuition rate and amount of money you pay as a freshman college student will be guaranteed until you graduate, and you will NEVER have to worry about skyrocketing tuition costs and having to pay even more money for college as a student.
2. Also consider working off your debt with community service. Recent college graduates can cancel part or even all of their federal student debt by working in public service jobs (public service jobs are lower-paying professional jobs that serve low income communities; or you can even volunteer). There are many loan forgiveness programs available to students who participate in this that are trying to pay back their money to their college. Programs available in which you can do this include the peace corps, americorps, volunteers in service to America, and many other professions such as teaching, medical, and law. By doing this as a student, you will be able to have a lot of the money that you owe for college forgiven, making this a great way to find money for college students.
