Worried about how you’re going to pay for college?
If you’re like most families you have at least some level of concern. But, as a recent U.S. News and World Report shows, choosing the right school can make a big difference.
U.S. News and World Report recently surveyed 1,700 schools about meeting student financial need. They identified 63 schools that claim to meet 100% of students’ financial need. The schools include both traditional 4 year public and private universities, as well as liberal arts colleges.
With the New York Times reporting that tuition increased 50% in inflation-adjusted dollars over the period 1996-2008, we suggest parents of prospective college students keep this list of public and private four-year colleges and universities handy.
