A Lower Cost Option to Higher Education

 

Community colleges offer students of any age the opportunity to achieve the degree they want at a significant cost savings. In this episode, Terri chats with Laura Tremblay and Anne Eule, representatives from Nashua Community College, about how community colleges can be an integral part of any student’s long term education plan and the many resources available for both students and parents to save money on financing, earn scholarships and ultimately transfer to a 4-year institution.

 

Important Notes:

• Community colleges can be a great way for students to get their core classes out of the way before transferring to a 4-year school while saving thousands in the process.
• Start looking for scholarships in middle school. There are plenty out there and even a $500 scholarship can cover books or other college costs.
