Students and families who have college savings are always in a better position when it comes to paying for college. Every dollar available from savings is a dollar that doesn’t have to be borrowed and repaid with interest!
Even saving a few dollars each week can help make paying for college easier. Higher education is typically paid for using a variety of sources, such as financial aid, scholarships, student loans, income, and savings. Most families don’t save enough to cover all costs but having savings gives them more options and allows them to borrow less.
