Christine S. Baker
January 28th, 2013

According to the U.S. Department of Education, a 2012 report by the National Center for Education Statistics states that public institutions charged approximately $13,600 for undergraduate education and boarding, $36,300 and $23,500 was charged by private nonprofit and for profit educational institutions respectively. That’s a 42%, 31% and 5% rise from the last decade respectively!

With the rise in educational costs in the United States, it is not surprising that many people are facing a tough time paying their fees. The need to take student loans is an option many people are declining from and therefore now aim for scholarships.

Some are offered for minorities, some to those who wish to join the military, etc. There are some even for people who are good at sports so if you have the knack of being a good athlete, then surely don’t miss your chance.
