PAYING FOR COLLEGE

It's the first of the month and I'm in the midst of bill paying, so my thoughts are ranging toward parents who are looking for new ways to assuage the high cost of college tuition. Here are three resources which may prove stimulating:

www.payforcollegeblog.com
This website has many ideas for saving on expenses, generating student income, and related subjects in an ever-expanding venue. Plan on spending significant time perusing the site.

www.fastweb.com
A very professional site with comments and tips on a variety of subjects including scholarships, grants, and loans.

Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching off My Parents by Zac Bissonnette is an entertaining self-help book that might appeal to both students and parents. Published just this year, Zac's ideas are timely and innovative. It is available in paperback at many bookstores including www.barnesandnoble.com
