GETTING THROUGH COLLEGE WITHOUT GOING BROKE
Effective strategies for getting through college on a shoestring budget
Over fifty five percent of all college students, about 8 million each year, receive some form of financial aid to help pay for their education. Finding money to pay for an increasingly expensive college education—an average of $23,500 per year for tuition and fees at a private college and $9,000 at public universities—and graduating without unnecessary debt, like high credit card balances, is a tough task that every college student faces together with his or her family.
Who better to share advice on how to get the most money for college and how to manage money while at college than college students who’ve been there and done it successfully? GETTING THROUGH COLLEGE WITHOUT GOING BROKE brings this type of unique peer advice and encouragement to college-bound and college students and is the only book written and edited exclusively by students. Dozens of student contributors to this book share their advice and perspectives on understanding and applying for financial aid and scholarships, living within a budget, learning how to manage money at college, balancing work and school, and avoiding getting into credit card debt, such as credit card debt. The helpful content of this book is complemented by revealing personal essays, interviews, and quotes from a diverse group of students, that make this a friendly and encouraging information resource.
GETTING THROUGH COLLEGE WITHOUT GOING BROKE is part of the Students Helping Students™ series of guides for high school and college students. Each Students Helping Students™ guide is written and edited exclusively by current college students and recent graduates, and contains only the most relevant and helpful advice.
Theresa Fives is the primary author and editor of this book. She is a junior at Cornell University.
