As a high school senior going into my first year of college, I lack personal experience that you might be looking for, but I know how daunting paying for college is, and I’m happy to share the ways I cut down my cost for college.

First off, I’ve had a part time job since I was 16, to make some extra cash for college. It’s not for everyone, I’ve had to sacrifice many opportunities to go out with friends and other high school stuff for the money, so make sure your child knows what they’re getting into if they decide to go this route.

During summer between sophomore and junior year, i took an enrichment class at the local community college for U.S. history that satisfied both high school and college credit. The fee was waived since i was an enrichment student. It was very rewarding and allowed me to experience the freedom of college. With the credits for that class taken care of, i took a work experience elective in place of U.S. history so I could get more hours in at my job. This saved me both time and money.

During my junior and senior year, I took several AP classes. These classes are college-level and are followed by an AP test in May, that, if passed, counts for college credit, as well as high school credit. again, saving time and money one would have to pay in college. If your child is good at any particular subject, I’d encourage them to enroll in an AP class, but they are difficult, so there’s caution in taking more than one.

Also during junior and senior year I joined a variety of school clubs that participated in volunteer work. Community service hours look great for scholarships, which can pay a lot, and also help in getting into college.

This past year, i applied for as many scholarships as i could, and got a few local ones. I also applied for a FAFSA, which is free money for college from the government. In California, i applied for a CalGrant, which is money for college that doesn’t have to be paid back. In total, i received around $5000 from scholarships and grants.

Lastly, enrolling into a two-year community college before going to a 4-year university would be more cost-effective and an easier transition. Additionally, colleges give transfer students priority in accepting new students, so there shouldn’t be a problem in getting into a god 4-year university.

I know, it’s long, but I’m very proud of myself for setting up the ways i plan to pay for college. It was a lot of hard work, but I’m glad i’m about to see it pay off.
