This is the third and final one. We have been fortunate to be able to pay for them and none of the three had to take out loans, or did we. Our daughter's work paid for her master's degree.
I wish you well - we cut back on vacations, gifts, etc. to be able to do this and I know many people who are not as fortunate as we are. |
If your dd gets in to Penn State you can shop at the Giant stores there and get double $1's! I'm 30 miles from State College.
I went back to school to a private (two year) business school when I was 25. I got some financial aid and the rest I had to take out in loans. It cost me $10,000 a year for this school and I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket while I was going. Of course, I didn't have to pay rent, utilities, etc like your daughter will, though.
There is a loan that parents can take out instead of a home equity. The interest on student loans is lower than most other loans. I pay 3%.
Good luck to your daughter!
