@Readyplayer remember to also look into your local community college as an option for the first 2 years of college with transferring to finish at a 4 year as an option. This need not be your first choice plan, but should stay on the table as an option as it tends to be a more affordable one. One cc in our state now offers 2 free courses to graduating seniors who meet basic criteria. So, students are only paying a relatively small fee for 2 additional courses the first semester for a full load of college courses!
@mahoganycurls305 I agree that avoiding loans is important when at all possible.
@Chopinspiano one of mine is at Howard and came home and told one of our younger ones to take an ACT prep course this summer to try and hit the 32 mark. Howard is not harder to get money from for sure.
