College Price Tag

The cost of college has increased in price far more than any other U.S. good or service.

WHY?

Because the borrowing is so easy.

So, simply put, college prices are so high because people are willing to spend more since it’s so easy to borrow.

Your student is awarded a private scholarship. Great news, right? You may assume the award is IN ADDITION to the financial aid package that is being offered to your student by the college.

It seems counterintuitive. The GOOD NEWS is that you can advocate for yourself and there may be some strategies around it.

Keep this in mind when looking at colleges and know how each school approaches this practice.
