Dave’s Answer

Every high school has a college counselor. Talk to them. They're going to help you look for scholarships, grants, and low-cost loans.
Did you also know that being a graduate in Chicago gives you the options of going to college for free? Yeah that's right, free. Check out that program that will allow you to attend any number of city colleges absolutely free of charge just because your resident of Chicago.
If you have a part-time job, there are many companies that will also pay for your schooling. I know because I worked for one of them. Yep that's right, all you have to do is apply.

First, you need to decide what you are doing and where you are going to college. The price can vary drastically depending on the college, whether you're living on campus, and whether it is public or private.

In today's economy saving up for college isn't entirely feasible or attainable. Most major colleges cost around $50,000 to $100,000 to attend. The better route would be to apply for and educate yourself on student loans. If you want to lower what you pay community colleges are usually a couple thousand for a semester.

I went to community college first to decide my career choice and then transferred to a major college. This decision saved me money and heartache in the long run.

First, decide where you want to go and talk to a college advisor.

Martin’s Answer

Dear Randy, your question is indeed challenging, but not impossible to answer. If you choose a State school, you'll be eligible for State tuition, the details of which can be easily found on the school's website. Remember, when it comes to expenses, there are various factors to consider. Scholarships, tuition assistance, and numerous other grants are available. With a bit of effort in completing the necessary paperwork, you could potentially study for free.

Moreover, the military offers fully funded programs in healthcare, with the only condition being a commitment to serve after graduation. There are also numerous healthcare programs that will cover your expenses, especially if you agree to work in specific regions of the country. In return, you'll receive total loan forgiveness for each year of service.

My advice would be to identify your area of interest, then seek guidance from a counselor or directly contact a school for more information. Additionally, you can explore government websites for a deeper understanding of these opportunities. Remember, every challenge is an opportunity in disguise. Keep exploring, and you'll find the path that suits you best.
