How to Finance Your College Education
Real Questions
Diana: Hi my name Diana I’m 16 and I’m from New York and I’m wondering
what’s the best way to save my money for college and where can I get
scholarships and how can I apply for them?
Cynthia Bailey: Diana let me answer your question this way. Colleges can be very,
very expensive or not expensive at all. What you need to look at is an
institution that’s a good fit for you then you need to back in to how you’re
going to afford it.
There is a lot of financial aid there for students who need it. I would
suggest that you go to the financial aid office at the schools that you’re
applying for admission and talk to them and see if there’s a reasonable
amount of money that your family can expect to contribute that you could
expect to contribute and it might be available from the institutions.
