Paying for College

According to a recent national survey by Morgan Stanley, more than half of American families planning to send their children to college have not started saving for it. Even if you are already saving for your child’s college education, chances are, it won’t be enough.

Fortunately, savings isn’t the only way to pay for college.

  • Free money: Your child may qualify for free money—financial aid, such as grants, scholarships and work-study, that does not have to be repaid.
  • Student loans: After exhausting free money options, most families turn to federal student loans to fill the college funding gap. Learn more about federal loan programs, and how Federal PLUS and Private loans can help make college more affordable.
