I never realised just how expensive college was these days. I was looking at college places and was shocked to see that it can cost upwards of a couple of hundred thousand dollars to pay for a college education. I decided that we needed to find some sort of school grant, so started searching online for scholarships for high school seniors and was surprised to find that there were actually quite a few options open to students. It is so tough to make a living these days, never mind saving enough money to give your kids a good education. A scholarship is the only way that I think we can afford it. Without financial aid, we will have to abandon hopes of getting a college degree, and start looking for work as soon as possible.
