Question

Based on the lesson and your research, how would you fund a four-year college degree?

In two to three sentences, explain your choices.

Answer 1

I would first maximize scholarships and grants, use savings or a 529 plan and consider starting at a community college to cut tuition, supplement with federal work‑study or part‑time jobs and internships, and only take low‑interest federal student loans as a last resort. This mix minimizes debt, leverages free or low‑cost funding and earned income, and keeps any necessary borrowing predictable and manageable.
