Don’t Settle for Student Loans to Pay for Online Education

By Ashley Norwood, US News

Some online students can receive federal work-study awards to help reduce their tuition.  Don’t just settle on borrowing student loans to cover the whole cost of your program and living expenses. Instead, start thinking about how to cut costs and cover your balance in different ways, such as the following.  Grants and scholarships: Even though you are taking an online course, you can still apply and receive grants and scholarships. But your first step should be to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly referred to as the FAFSA, which will allow you to receive a Pell Grant if your expected family contribution is low enough.
