Why Save for <strong>College</strong>?<br />
According to the <strong>College</strong> Board, people with a bachelor’s<br />
degree earn at least 60 percent more than those with only<br />
a high school diploma. Over a lifetime, the difference<br />
between what a high school graduate makes and what a<br />
college graduate makes is more than $800,000.<br />
For qualified families, financial aid will reduce the<br />
amount you actually pay. Financial aid is intended to<br />
make up the difference between what your family can<br />
afford to pay and what college costs.<br />
Start saving now—every dime helps. While more than<br />
half of college students receive some sort of financial<br />
aid, it’s important to save what you can to help pay the<br />
expected family contribution and to reduce the need for<br />
loans to pay for college. Most financial aid comes in the<br />
form of loans, which is aid that must be repaid. Learn<br />
