Saving for College

Saving for college is just as important a process as choosing your major and deciding which college to attend. Being financially prepared for college -- and during college --  can better help you to focus on your educational goals.

It is never to early to start saving for college and there are a lot of resources available to help you develop strong money-saving strategies and budgeting skills.

Start with resources available in your own community:

• Your high school - ask your high school counselor about any budgeting workshops or personal finance classes that may be offered.
• Your local community college's community education department - some community colleges offer budgeting and money-saving strategy workshops throughout the year.
• Your bank - ask your bank about budgeting and savings resources they might have available for their customers.
