Innovative Strategies to Cut College Costs

January 4, 2025 - 20:16

Innovative Strategies to Cut College Costs

As college application season approaches, experts are sharing valuable insights on how to save money on higher education. College admissions consultant Greg Kaplan has outlined several effective strategies that can significantly reduce expenses for prospective students and their families.

One of the most impactful ways to save is by applying for scholarships and grants. Many institutions offer financial aid based on merit or need, and students are encouraged to explore all available options. Additionally, attending a community college for the first two years can provide substantial savings before transferring to a four-year university.

Kaplan also emphasizes the importance of researching in-state tuition rates, as attending a state school can often be more affordable than out-of-state options. Furthermore, students should consider taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school to earn college credits early, which can lead to reduced tuition costs later on.

Lastly, Kaplan advises families to create a budget and stick to it, ensuring that they avoid unnecessary expenses while pursuing a college education. By implementing these strategies, students can make informed financial decisions that will ease the burden of college costs.
