Planning how to get INTO a good college is one important part of the process; the next is planning how to pay for it. Here are a few things you can do to plan to pay for college:

1. Complete FAFSA as soon as it opens on October 1st of senior year. (Need-based aid and taking out student loans can only be done with the FAFSA.)
2. Apply for scholarships! When colleges accept you, they will offer scholarships with their acceptance. Apply each week for colleges, and know that work study is an option, too!
3. After all of that, take your balance and divide it by 8 to see what the monthly payment will be.

Stay tuned for part 2, and let us know the steps you're taking to plan for this part of the journey to college in the comments below.
