Financing A College Education

Read Paul White's article, in The Virginia-Pilot, on the realities of scholarships monies, especially full athletic scholarships.

Here are a couple of Newsweek articles on the trends, realities and strategies in regards to financing a college education:

Jane Bryant Quinn, Newsweek, "College Needn't Bankrupt You"
Arian Campo-Flores: "A Financial Earthquake"

The most important lessons? Don't bank on athletic money; hard work and good grades can be highly (financially and otherwise) rewarding.
