The importance of education today is undeniable.
Are you prepared for what it costs? It takes planning to fund the cost of an education considering that between 2006-07 and 2016-17, published in-state tuition and fees at public four-year institutions increased at an average rate of 3.5% per year beyond inflation1. While tuition will be the largest expense, don't forget about these additional costs that may be incurred:
Pre-College Costs
• Standardized test fees • Test prep courses and materials • Campus visits • Moving costs
Additional College Costs
• Room & Board • Books & Supplies • Transportation 1 College Board (Trends in Higher Education) 2017
