Jarhud it is wonderful that you are thinking about college. I suggest applying for scholarships first. Secondly I recommended applying for education grants. Student loans would my last option because they have to be paid back with interest.

Dannie’s Answer

Additionally to what have already being suggested, I think a great way to pay for college is find employment with a company that offers Tuition Reimbursement. I've had the opportunity to get both my Undergrad and Grad degree using Tuition reimbursement option from my company. I had an Associates Degree prior to starting, however it helped tremendously to use Tuition Reimbursement. Some companies gives unlimited, others $5k, 10K per year, etc. So this is a great option.

B’s Answer

Hello,

I saw that your other question is regarding the computer science field. If you wish to take on-line classes - check out University of the People at https://www.uopeople.edu/ They do not have many majors to choose from - only: Computer Science, Health Science, Business Administration and a newly created Master's in Education. However on the plus side, they are very cost efficient. They boast of being "tuition free" which is true; however, there are a few nominal fees. $60 for registration, $100 per class and $17 per transfer credit. All class resources (books, etc.) are provided in an on-line form for free. They also offer scholarships. Best of luck to you.<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">  </span>

Jacqueline’s Answer

The best way to pay for college is to go for free. That could be through a grant, scholarships, paid internships, etc. I will focus on two items, scholarships and investing. I believe that if you hone in on your skills you can find scholarships that support your dreams. I applied for over 40 scholarships when I was in school and I was able to use my strengths and areas for opportunity on the applications and in interviews. I also recommend that if you obtain a summer job that you invest the money in a guaranteed payment fund (like a certificate of deposit) so that overtime you earn money to continue to pay for school.
