College classes are starting soon and many parents have tuition on the mind. Here are three tips on for parents who pay for their children’s college education.
- Save for it! One popular way is through a 529 College Savings Plan.
- Utilize federal student loans and grants. For example, federal PLUS loans cover expenses traditional student loans don’t.
- Beware of private lenders. There are more private options than ever, but be careful. Repayment terms generally aren’t favorable.
