Apply for Financial Aid
Financial aid can help you find the grants and scholarships that you are eligible for. Your school will more than likely have you fill an application out; however, if they do not, let your advisor know that you are seeking grants or scholarships to help fund your education, and your advisor will direct you to the right resources.
Consider a Private College
The nice thing about going to a private college is that you can have a say in the cost of your college education. Because these private colleges are competing with the public colleges, they are able to work with you in negotiating a cost that both parties can be happy with.
Research and Apply
Make sure to research and apply at several different colleges. This way, you can find out which one is the best for your educational and financial goals.
