What is the best possible way to pay for college other than loans and scholarships?

I know that college is expensive and I'm looking for the best way to afford it. I'm going to be attending a college out of my state so state scholarships aren't an option. I don't want to be in major debt after attending something necessary to get a job and be successful in it.

Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.

College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.

You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, science subjects, engineering or radiology, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.

Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.

All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

TRAVIS’s Answer

Military is one route. There are many branches and they all offer different trainings and expectations. Taking as many AP. Dual Credit and CLEP tests will save you alot of time and money from having to pay for those classes too. Look into all of those while still in high school. Get off your parents income taxes and you likely will qualify for Pell grants too.
