Five Ways Ed Pays
Five powerful ways a college degree can transform your life and lifestyle.en Español
Grants and Scholarships
Look for these first – it's money you don't have to pay back. Millions of dollars are available from North Carolina, the federal government, colleges, universities, and other groups to help with college costs.
Part Time Work
The right balance of work and study can help you meet your college expenses and gain job experience at the same time.
Loans
If you borrow only what you really need, loans are another good way to pay for college. Loans must be paid back with interest so compare loan type, interest rate and fees carefully.
Savings
Saving for college is a good investment in yourself – or a child!
Installment Payment Plans
Colleges and universities may offer monthly payment plans as a way to spread out college expenses over time.
Repayment
Have questions on repaying or managing your education loan? Need a form for your CFI loan, want to make a payment or check your account?
Financial Literacy
Interactive financial literacy courses designed to help high school and college students make responsible choices about managing money. Check out the possibility of a $500 scholarship too.
