Because I work at a community college for my day job - in fact, I've worked in higher education my entire adult life - I know that it can be a chore to figure out how to pay for college without taking student loans.

State budgets get tighter and colleges/universities can rely less and less on government funding to help support their goal of student success. Regardless of which political party is "controlling" Congress, paying for higher education has never been more frustrating. Never mind just the tuition fees...there are books, supplies, and of course you've got to live, too. That means paying for housing, food, transportation...all of the things.

Don't give up on your dream of a higher education. With a little bit of planning and prioritization, you can set yourself up for college with zero debt. It's totally possible.
