tips saving on collage

1.Although application deadlines for most college scholarships aren't due until the students' senior year, start searching for grants and scholarships their freshman year. By finding potential awards when they begin high school, the student can choose classes and participate in activities that will give them a better chance of getting free cash.

2.Reduce your college expenses by earning as many college credits outside the classroom that you can. Advanced Placement tests, internships, public service and job training programs are a few examples of ways that you can trim tuition costs by earning college credit outside the classroom.

3.There are some college scholarships available to qualified students. While many of these are financially need and grade based, many others are not. Don't let household income or grades stop you from searching for scholarships.

4.You are allowed to pay any amount for as many people's college tuition (not room & board or school supplies) without owing any gift taxes. For the tuition payments to qualify, you must pay the tuition directly to the college.
