Description: A college degree is often the key to jumpstarting a career. And data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics consistently show that workers who have a college degree earn more than workers who don't. Not surprisingly, a college education is increasingly popular. But sources of money to help students pay for college haven't kept pace. And some types of financial assistance, such as state-funded aid, have shrunk. This article is a guide to affording higher education. The first section describes ways to plan for college expenses before enrolling. The second section explains how to finance higher education. The third section offers tips for money management before, during, and after college. Strategies described in this article focus primarily on attendance at 4-year colleges and universities. However, the information is broadly applicable to different levels of higher education. Also, keep in mind that some financial aid details, such interest rates and tax incentives, may change.
