So, HOW do they do it?

Many families end up using a combination of methods to foot the bill.

Finding a Summer Job During a Pandemic...Be Creative!

For many students, the sunny months of summer break are an important time to work between semesters. 

Some extra money from a summer job can help pay off tuition or student loans, and summer work experience can load a resume with great skills.

Finding a summer job during the summer can be a stressful task for many high school and college students, and the coronavirus pandemic has only made it more difficult.

Considering all that, we found that unconventional methods to find summer jobs may be necessary.

Did Someone Say "Summer Job?"

Summer Job Alert!

Did you say your student has exhausted all possibilities of finding a summer job?

The very enterprising son of a parent in our Paying For College 101 Facebook group has been raking in the bucks by painting house sconces! (He charges $25 per sconce, and even has other students working for him!)

How can you find schools that will offer your student merit money?

If you don't think you'll get financial aid but you can't afford to pay the college sticker price then the key to making college more affordable is finding schools that can offer your student MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS.

Our new tool SIMPLIFIES the search.

Enter your student's stats and preferences to get a list of colleges (in just seconds) where YOUR student is likely to receive merit scholarships.
And while you're at it, you can sort, filter, and compare colleges based on:
- Early Decision Admission Rates
- Early Action Admission Rates
- Regular Decision Admission Rates
- Coop & Honors Programs
- Tuition, Room & Board
- Endowment per Student
- and MORE!

By the way, you can also review actual college offers, given to students, from the past two years! So you can see who really got money, what state they were from, and what their stats were.


My goal is to provide affordable services, insightful information and a support system so your family can make more informed decisions about college.
