College is a big investment—don't jump in without doing your homework. Learn about college costs, applying for scholarships and other types of financial aid, choosing the best aid package, taking out education loans, and paying the college bill.
Start searching for scholarship opportunities now. Many awards have application deadlines in the fall of the senior year.
Comparing aid awards can be difficult. Be sure that you understand and consider complete, accurate costs at each college, not just tuition and fees.
