How can I learn about and reduce the financial demands of a college education?
Encourage your children to take more credits per semester and to graduate on time. Each additional semester spent in school beyond a traditional four years results in additional living expense and additional time out of the job market, or extends the time away from graduate and professional schools. In addition, learn about all the types of financial aid that are available and take advantage of these programs. Every college and university offers free financial aid counseling. Visit the UT System’s Texas College Money Web site for more information.
