Things are a bit more challenging now than they were 20 or 30 years ago, but there are ways to make it easier. Summer internships can be a great help, especially if you use the money you earn for your education. You might also consider a part-time job during the school year. Your college's financial aid office can guide you to on-campus jobs or work-study options. Scholarships can be tough to get, but it's worth starting with local ones. Think about what makes you unique—maybe a parent is a veteran, or you have a specific ethnic background. Your chosen field of study might also offer scholarships. Use a reliable scholarship search service or AI to find opportunities that fit you.

Consider attending a university outside of the United States. The US has the most expensive college system of all the developed countries and atending an out of country program also allows you to broaden your horizons. If you don't want to go too far, look at a Canadian university. Otherwise, there are lots of great programs in Asia and Europe.
