The College Board reports the average cost of tuition and fees in the 2015-2016 school year topped $9,400 for state residents at public colleges. It was $23,893 for out-of-state residents attending public schools, and $32,405 for students going to a private university.
Add on books, room and board, and the cost of transportation if you live off campus, and the price of higher education can leave you with a case of sticker shock. So, other than student loans or hoping your child lands a scholarship, how can you pay for college?
Joining us with a look at the various plans for saving and investing for college are Certified Financial Planner Luke Hail with Foster and Motley, and Chris DeSimio, a financial advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors in Cincinnati.
