college fair

At national college fairs, admissionrepresentatives from a variety of colleges gatherin one place, ready to answer your questions.Savvy students preview the list of schools, choose the ones

they want to learn about then research them.“Know what you want to find out at the fair,” said a director of

admission at a college in Ohio.Make a short list of questions unique to your

interests and not easily found in standard collegematerials. Then ask the same questions at eachschool.“The college fair is a good time to talk person-

to-person with the representative of that school,”said one guidance counselor. “Your job is to thinkof good questions.”Don’t ask how many people are in the freshman

class. Instead, ask about the most popular majors.That can give you a good idea of the maininterests of the majority of the students.If you have a particular major in mind, don’t

ask if the school’s program is good. No collegerepresentative will tell you that a program is bad.Instead, ask how many students are in that major;what research the faculty is involved in and theopportunities for undergraduate participation; orwhich courses you would take your first year in aparticular major.If you’re undecided, ask about services and

support to help you explore various majors.Ask about extracurricular activities, what kinds of studentsthe college is looking for, what percentage of students receivefinancial aid, and other concerns unique to your interests andsituation.

Map out a strategyWhen going to the fair, be sure to take a small notebook

with your list of colleges and questions, a pen or pencil and abackpack or tote bag to hold the information you’ll collect.If possible, print a few sheets of self-stick address labels with

your name, address, phone number, email address, high school,year of graduation, intended major(s), and any extracurricularactivities you’re interested in. At the fair, slap the address labelson college information cards to save time repeatedly filling outthe same information.At some fairs, scanners are used to collect contact information

electronically, but students must sign up beforehand to havetheir information electronically scanned. Ask your counselor

whether scanners will be available at the fair you’re going to,or visit www.nacacnet.org/fairs and search for the fair in whichyou’re interested.When you arrive at the fair, look for a map and note where

each college is located, then plan the most efficient way to visitthe ones on your list. (For example, visit all the colleges ofinterest to you in one room before moving to the next.)Also check out the schedule of information sessions. Many

fairs have sessions on the search process, applications, financialaid and other issues. These sessions are agreat place to ask general questions about thecollege admission process.Your notebook and pen are great tools

for keeping all those conversations straight.After you leave a table— and before visitinganother— jot down your impressions ofthe college and the answers the admissionrepresentatives gave you.

Team upIf a family member attends the fair with

you, talk about your plan ahead of time. Itmight be best to split up. A parent can attendthe financial aid seminar so you can visitmore colleges. On the other hand, if you sticktogether, your parents or siblings might askquestions you didn’t think of, and it can behelpful to get a second opinion.

BrowsePlanning ahead ensures that you’ll get to visit the colleges

that most interest you, but also leave time for browsing.“Be adventurous,” said an admission director. “Don’t just

focus on ‘name’ schools. You may find that a school you’ve neverheard of offers the exact major, extracurricular program, etc.,that you’re seeking.”

Follow upAfter the fair, you’ll have a bag filled with information and

a possible case of information overload. Don’t succumb to thetemptation to pile all those brochures in a corner. Take a dayor two away from the college search then get out all thosebrochures and the notes you took, and read through them.You might find that some colleges aren’t as interesting as you

first thought. Others will look better the more you researchthem. For those, follow up by filling out the information cards orby scheduling college visits.◆

College categoriesNational Association for College Admission Counseling

In your search for the right college or university, you need to know whichgeneral category each school falls under: private, public or proprietary.

Nonprofit privatePrivate colleges and universities can vary

greatly in their course offerings and campuslife. The thing they have in common isthat they all receive funding primarilyfrom student tuition and endowments.These institutions function as nonprofitorganizations that usually follow theleadership of a board of trustees.Private colleges and universities may

receive some governmental support in theform of tax breaks and student loans, butoperating mainly on private support allowsthem to develop their own institutionalplans. Many are associated with religiousand other community groups. The listof private colleges includes the nation’soldest institutions. Many have kept their

traditional campus models, though thecourses and student cultures transformeddrastically over a couple hundred years.Private institutions that date back to the

17th and 18th centuries include HarvardUniversity, Yale University and PrincetonUniversity. These centuries-old institutionsalso tend to be highly selective, thoughselectivity rates among all private schoolsvary greatly. According to the Departmentof Education, selectivity rates at all privateand public institutions were nearly identicalin 2007.Reliance on private funds also has led

to higher average cost. For the 2008 –2009 academic year, the Department ofEducation estimated the cost of tuition,room and board at private colleges

and universities to average $31,233,compared to $12,283 at public collegesand universities. Don’t let this sharpcontrast in cost prevent you from seekingadmission. At these institutions, financialaid opportunities often reduce the totalcost and loan burden.

Nonprofit publicPublic colleges and universities receive

funding from tuition and endowments,but the larger part of their funding comesfrom state or local taxes. Most publicpostsecondary schools are state-run,which lowers the tuition for in-statestudents. Public colleges and universitiescan focus on a specific area of study suchas research or liberal arts, but many,

referred to as “regional comprehensiveinstitutions,” offer many different fields ofstudy, with an emphasis on professionalprograms.Public colleges and universities follow

performance standards set by the state,as opposed to a private school’s boardof trustees. Public schools typicallyare categorized as two-year, four-year,research, comprehensive or communitycolleges. Like private institutions, theselectivity rates among public schools canvary greatly. Public schools include highlyselective schools likeWilliam andMaryand the University of California-Berkley,as well as community colleges with open-access policies.

For-profit or proprietaryWhile public and private colleges receive

their funding in different forms, both arestill considered nonprofit.Proprietary institutions are considered

for-profit companies that operate under thedemands of investors and stockholders. Asof the 2008 – 2009 academic year, there

were more nonprofit institutions than for-profits, but over the last two decades, thenumber of degree-granting for-profits hasincreased rapidly.Proprietary institutions attract adult

learners and part-time students in searchof narrowly focused professional trainingopportunities. These programs usuallyoffer a nontraditional setup with flexibleschedules and convenient locations. Manyfor-profits also have classes available solelyonline.

Careful considerationWhen you have narrowed your list

of schools and are ready to begin theapplication process, first be sure to calculatethe amount you could owe after graduation.You’ll need to have a good grasp of thisamount when you receive financial aid.During the 2007 – 2008 academic year, themedian debt load for a bachelor’s degreerecipient was:• $7,960 at public schools• $17,040 at private schools• $31,190 at for-profit colleges

Because a postsecondary degree is sucha significant investment, don’t overestimatethe importance of patience during thecollege admission process. Take time toreflect on all your options. Some institutionsmight offer quick admission, but be sureyou have examined enough options beforeaccepting any immediate offer.The admission process at four-year

nonprofits typically requires an application,which may ask for standardized testscores, high school transcripts, essaysand other materials. You want to find theinstitution that will best match up withyour qualifications and personality, sothe application process is a great way toget to know a college and for a college toget to know you. Before you send thoseapplications, make sure you have completedall the admission requirements.A close examination of the academic,

social and financial factors will lead youto a best-fit college. To read more on thedifferences in college categories, pleasevisit our web site at www.nacacnet.org/ncfstudent.◆


college prep Major spotlight: Biology

By Lori Darvas For Custom Publications

Life lessonsA biology degree can lead to careers in medicine and beyond

On paper, the description for abiology degree program mayread like it’s designed only forfuture medical school students.But biology majors also include

undergraduates who want to examine life ona cellular level, whether they intend to workin research laboratories or out in the field.Biology grads can explorediverse career options,including pharmaceuticalsales, radiation therapyand teaching high schoolscience to the nextgeneration.“Usually students fall

into one of two groups,”said Kate Emblom,associate director ofadvising for IndianaUniversity’s college ofarts and sciences. “The first group wantsto pursue a career in some sort of healthprofession. The second wants to do science.They might be conducting research, theymight want a laboratory job or they mightwant to go out into the field and work forthe EPA or in wildlife rehabilitation.”Most biology graduates don’t get where

they are because they woke up one morningand decide to study life forms. Nor are theythe type to enter medical school becausetheir parents always dreamed of having adoctor in the family.Biology majors typically are the adults

High school subject mattersLoren Bertocci would like to talk to high school students who want to study biology in college.

The dean of Marian University’s school of math and sciences, he said prospective biology majorsshould think about numbers when they’re selecting high school courses.“Most are underprepared in math, underprepared in physics and

underprepared in chemistry, in that order,” Bertocci said.In the study of living organisms, students must be able to handle formulas

and understand the nature and properties of all matter. Students who avoidtaking the advanced classes are at a disadvantage when they start collegeand have to study those subjects in depth for the first time. Success ispossible, but only if they’re willing to work harder.Indiana University doesn’t require incoming freshmen to have certain

classes on their high school transcript, said Libby Tilghman, academic advisorin the biology department. Still, wise class choices in high school can make a difference.“It can be beneficial to our majors if they’ve had some chemistry and biology in high school, as

there is the possibility of testing out of some introductory courses,” Tilghman said.Freshmen should plan to take a variety of courses their first two semesters, regardless of what

they learned in high school, said Kate Emblom, associate director of advising for IU’s college ofarts and sciences. They also need to be open to all possible major and career paths.“College is an excellent time for students to understand where their own dreams are coming

from and what their passions are,” she said.

Bertocci

who were fascinated by science as kids,said Loren Bertocci, PhD, dean of MarianUniversity’s school of math and sciences.While classmates watched “Rugrats”cartoons, they tuned into “Bill Nye theScience Guy.” These kids connected withscience early, and that fascination drovethem to pursue the subject through highschool and into college.

Biology majorsshould be good at math,Bertocci said, becauseit’s the foundation ofunderstanding science.Formulas, statisticsand research studiesall involve calculations.While the average Indianastudent scores about 520in the math portion ofthe SAT, science majorswho earn a score anything

less than 550 tend to struggle with college

courses.“I can

take a verybright mathstudent andmake him avery goodbiologist. I cannottake someone who can’t do mathand make him a biologist,” Bertocci said.Most colleges offer various paths for

biology majors. At Marian University, astudent also can pursue a concentration inbioinformatics, cell and molecular biologyand human biology, among others.Indiana University students can select

biology or microbiology, or earn ananimal behavior area certificate andminor degree, said Libby Tilghman,academic adviser. They may opt to focuson plants, animals, evolution, anatomy,physiology or environmental biology.That decision doesn’t have to be made

right away. Colleges tend to encourage oreven require students to pursue generalcourses freshman year, which providesthemmore time to choose a morespecific field. It also gives them time togauge program requirements and courseworkload.“The biology and microbiology majors

require several laboratory courses, andlabs in general are considered time-

consuming because you have to set upexperiments, wait for them to run, observeand record the results, and then write up thefindings in a lab report,” Tilghman said.

What’s a biology degree worth?For many, the degree’s primary value

is being the first step on the path towardgraduate or postgraduate work. Biologymajors will take required classes in mathand science, which can prepare them formedical school or doctoral work, Bertoccisaid. A bachelor’s degree in biologycan lead more immediately to a job asa laboratory technician, but lab leadersand administrators are those who hold an

advanced degree. Biologists with PhDswho pursue research can earn six figureswith opportunities for growth.They also have the potential to make

a difference, even if they’re not directlydiagnosing diseases and performinglifesaving surgeries. Bertocci’s formerstudents have gone on to great successin the field. One student was involved inredesigning kidney dialysis to make it lesstoxic for patients. Another looked at howoxygen reactions can impact stem-celltherapy in arthritic adults. A third studiedthe link between chemicals in water andhow they can impact livestock and thehumans who eat it.◆

Safety first on campusBy Deb Buehler For Custom Publications

Exciting opportunities awaitedstudents as they arrived oncollege campuses last month:new friendships, classes androutines.Living away from home, attending

football games and exploring new terrain.And though most students quickly feel

at home on campus, they should take stepsevery day to stay safe.

Start with responsibility“Now that students are away frommom

and dad, they are responsible for their ownsafety,” said Bill Weber, assistant policechief of operations for Butler University’spublic safety department. “Students shouldrealize that there are people out there

who, given the opportunity, will attempt todefraud them or do them harm.”While campus police departments strive

to make the community comfortable andsafe, students have a responsibility to avoidsetting themselves up for problems, Webersaid. They should begin by having astrategy for evenings out, choosingone or more friends who willwatch out for each other in allcircumstances.Weber said students

must remain aware of theirsurroundings. If they’redrinking with new friendsat 2 a.m., they need tonotice what’s happeningaround them— and not distractthemselves by texting or listening to musicwith headphones. Students, particularly

females, should use the buddy system andnot venture out alone across campus.

Lock it upKory Vitangeli, dean of students and vice

president for student and campus affairsat University of Indianapolis, encouragesdorm residents to keep their doorslocked. Students tend to think of theirdorm room as their own home, shesaid. But in the time it takes to run tothe laundry room, an intruder couldswiftly steal a smart phone, laptopand expensive textbooks.

Students become so comfortablein their residence halls, Weber

said, that come leave their room unlockedat night. Not surprisingly, the mostcommon crime on college campuses is theft.


“Coming to Milwaukee was something completely differentfor me. I grew up in a small farming community whereeveryone knows each other. Now I’m working for oneof America’s top finance companies, and I honestlycouldn’t be more excited. Get involved, spread yourwings. There’s no end to the support you’ll find at UWM.”

Social media safetyUniversity students can take action to

stay safe on campus – and they also needto stay safe online.During orientation

week, the Universityof Indianapolisprovides socialmedia strategiesand remindersto incomingstudents.“Facebook

and Twitter areplaces students representthemselves and their university,”said Kory Vitangeli, dean of students andvice president for student and campusaffairs. “It is important for students not topost their every move and to be responsibleabout what they do post on social mediaoutlets.”

“We are seeing moreand more bikes stolen,”Vitangeli said.“Students need to besure to lock bikes andmake sure that valuablesaren’t visible when left incars.”Students who leave money or a

computer in the car are susceptibleto break-ins. Likewise, a plugged-in GPS—with its glowing LED light— is aninvitation for thieves.

Walk or ride with sidekickButler and UIndy are among the many

campuses that offer police escorts tostudents who are out alone. Butler’s “DogRide” is available from dusk to dawn to

help studentsget safely to their

car, dorm or apartmentafter late classes.Schools nationwide

are adopting large-scalecommunication systemsto provide campus-widealerts. Students, staff and

faculty who register for the program canreceive a phone call, text and email whenthe weather or any other issue threatenssafety on campus.In all circumstances, Vitangeli

encourages students to trust their gutinstincts. Anyone who feels unsafe shouldpromptly call a friend or alert campussecurity. ◆

College studentsare warming up to e-textbooks

Today these types of technology arehelpful for much more than status updates,instant photos, addictive games and catvideos.Increasingly, the cumbersome, heavy

college textbooks of yesterday are beingreleased in digital formats. The electronicversions cost less and are infinitely moreportable.

Slow to growWhile young adults tend to quickly

grasp the latest technology, e-textbookusage has been slower to catch on. E-booksaccounted for only 7 percent of all textbooksales and rentals in the fall of 2012,according to Student Monitor, a behavior-

tracking organization. That’s up from just4 percent in 2011.“Students come to us with a technical

skill and a lack of fear inusing any technology, butwe have pockets in ourstudent body who are notas adept at using tech,”said Thomas Enneking,provost and executivevice president at MarianUniversity.Even students who are

education and accelerated nursing programs.In both, e-texts are included in the cost.“The newest place where we’re doing

e-texts is in the College of OsteopathicMedicine,” Enneking said. “Each studentreceives a fully loaded iPad with all coursematerials they need for the semester—instruction, course syllabi, all the text theyneed.”Some of these students prefer to purchase

the physical textbook, too, or print out pagesto study.

Coming wave?At Indiana State University, about 40

percent of textbooks are available digitally.But the trend has been slow-growing, said

Susan Powers, associate vicepresident for academic affairs.ISU’s official bookstore

currently makes e-textbooksavailable with courseinstructors’ permission. Theschool works to help tech-shystudents understand how touse the electronic files.“The bookstore is at our

resource fair during new-student orientation,and there’s a session that explains all thedifferent options and how they work,” Powerssaid. “We offer demonstrations on how to usethe laptops we provide to students with laptopscholarships. These come loaded with theNook Reading App.”The Nook Reading App is software that

Powers

can be installed on a PC or laptop as well asa mobile device like an iPad or e-reader. Theapp’s features enable students to highlightsections and take notes.As more high schools shift toward

e-textbooks, Powers said, incoming collegefreshman soon will expect to use them oncampus, which will spur more rapid adoptionof the technology.“I’m interested in seeing how well our

students start doing once more and more highschool students are already comfortable withthe technology,” she said.One of Powers’ own daughters decided not

to use e-textbooks and she doesn’t currentlyuse an e-reader. For now, she prefers to turnthe pages of a physical book for recreationaland academic reading.

Time to buy an e-reader?The list of needs for college students

already is lengthy, with parents having to buycomputers, TVs, furniture and more. Are theynow expected to invest in yet another deviceso their student can access e-books?“I would probably say a kid doesn’t need

an e-reader across the board,” Enneking said.“The problem today is that specifications don’talways match. All students will probably havean e-reader, smart phone, etc., they will beable to access. The challenge in education ishow we use that tech that’s hanging around intheir pockets. How do we tell students to dosomething constructive on it? Where’s it goingto be in five years? Who knows?”◆

Freshman 15?Years ago, the so-called Freshman 15

was the dreaded consequence of livingit up on campus, eating fatty foods andsugary drinks around the clock withouta watchful parent to set limits on junkfood. Away frommom’s home-cookedmeals and strict eye on snacking, studentsquickly packed on pounds.In 2013, families have a different

lifestyle. Most only rarely sit down todinner together, with kids and parentsheading to activities, clubs, games andmeetings. The fresh home-cooked mealof the last generation has been replaced bypackaged meals, frozen dinners and tripsthrough the drive-through.Now, college can be the time to reverse

bad habits set at home.“As parents and students look at being

away from home, they need to look atbalancing their diets,” Kathie Guyler,general manager of dining services forEarlham College. “All of the thingsthey’ve learned about eating properly,they need to be able to translate topersonal choices.”

In college, young adults actuallyhave a unique opportunity to redefinemeal times. With dining halls open sethours, students can form a new habit bytaking time for a more leisurely sit-downmeal with friends. And without a car totransport them through the nearest drive-through lane, they can forego high-caloriefast food.“We have a student population that

participates with the meal plan,” Guylersaid. “It’s all part of the culture here to bearound the student restaurant.”

Go for the greenToday’s college dining plan is just

that — dining— and not the cafeteriaof yesterday. Universities have begunto view students as restaurant patrons,offering them diverse options and erasingthe stereotype of cafeterias ladling outchipped beef on toast from an industrial-size trough.“A percentage of our students are

vegetarian or vegan, so we offer everyday a vegetarian entrée, a vegan entrée,”Guyler said. “We do quinoa dishes, we dointeresting things with couscous and

When you imagine a college student’s typical meal, you probablydon’t conjure up images of leafy salads, steamed vegetables andlean protein. For decades, the meal of choice on campus is pizza,pizza and more pizza.

beans. And a lot of our students choose to eatthat way anyway, even though they may pick upa chicken breast on occasion.”With so many options— both healthy and

not— students can become overwhelmed. Asolution? Choosing a green salad andvarying the toppings.“One thing to do is to put fresh

fruit on your salad, and choppednuts are really good,” said LeslieMuse, RD, owner of A Cut AboveNutrition. “You can put on eggs,sunflower seeds, tomatoes, anyvegetables, chicken or leanham. Some of the vinaigrettedressings are okay, butranch and bleu cheesedressings are super heavy— about 200 calories fora tablespoon. Get thedressing on the side, andthen dip your fork andspear the salad.”◆

Snack-time solutionsSnacking can make college students more vulnerable to poor food choices

overall. By going long periods between meals and staying up for hours afterdinner, they’re more likely to tear open and devour a bag of chips or cookies.When students are tempted by junk food, they should try to think outside the

bag, said Leslie Muse, RD, owner of A Cut Above Nutrition.“Popcorn is good,” she said. “It takes three minutes (in the microwave), andyou have a source of high fiber to fill you up.”

Items packaged to look like healthy choices aren’t always so. Cerealbars actually are laden with high fructose corn syrup. Muse recommendsexchanging them for fiber bars, high-fiber cereal or whole-wheat figbars, which can satisfy a sweet tooth and provide appetite-curbingbulk.

“They are a little higher in calories but should take the edge off,”she said. “If you have a refrigerator, you could have string cheese,

which will have protein and a little bit of fat and will giveyou a feeling of satiety. Or try whole-wheat pita bread

with hummus. You get fiber from the bread andchickpeas, as well as vitamins, magnesium andcalcium.”Students should be careful not to take in too

many liquid calories.“Pop is high in calories and has no nutritional

value at all,” Muse said. “If you have to have caffeine, youcan have coffee or tea, but stay away from the exotic coffees that

have lots of cream and sugar.”

Special students,suitable livingColleges and universities generally

are willing to adapt the available livingoptions to accommodate students’special needs. During initial campustours, parents can ask about specialaccommodations to suit students whohave health issues, physical limitationsor emotional disabilities. The termsshould be understood and reiteratedafter the student’s acceptance letter isissued.The school likely will require

the student’s physician to providedocumentation before adaptations canbe made.“No matter if it is a special mattress,

specific cleaning supplies, theirtherapy animal or a place to lock uptheir medication, we’ll work with themto keep their needs confidential whilekeeping them safe,” said Amanda Knerr,executive director of residential life atIndiana State University.

University of Indianapolis.When they’ve outgrown a traditional

dorm, students may want to move on to asuite-style dormitory with a private bathor a shared bath between units. Anotheroption is a sorority or fraternity, wherestudents can live, study and socialize withlike-minded students. In a communal,apartment-style arrangement, students havetheir own room and share the kitchen andother common areas. Some students havethe finances and maturity to live off campusin a rented house, apartment or condo.“There are a lot of things to think about

when it comes to choosing your livingsituation,” said Amanda Knerr, executivedirector of residential life at Indiana StateUniversity. “On campus, you have a mealplan, can walk to class in your pajamasand rarely need a car. Those who live offcampus often have to pay utilities, findparking options and get up early for theircommute. It’s a lot to consider, but some findthat with several roommates, it’s the rightoption for them.”

Under mom and dad’s roofFor some students, the best option is to

live at home and commute to college. This,of course, can present other problems—from helicopter parents who swoop in tosolve every problem to students who havetrouble adjusting to strict house rules.“This is a great opportunity for mom and

dad to ease up on the apron strings a littleand give their child independence,” Knerrsaid. “Set some ground rules for what toexpect from them and let them shouldersome of the responsibility as well.”For parents whose children are used to

living on campus, weekend and holidayvisits can be stressful. The college-age kidmay not want to fall back in line with pastcurfews and chores.“It’s hard to shift your mentality and treat

your child like an adult when they’ve beenliving on campus,” Vitangeli said. “But ifyou set those ground rules ahead of time,it can go a long way to navigating this newphase of their lives.”◆


college costs

By Deb Buehler For Custom PublicationsThe cost factor

When budgeting for college, parentsand students know to factor in the cost oftuition and housing. But many forget toplan ahead for all of the other expenses ofhigher education: books, computers, mobiledevices, transportation and incidentals.These variables can and should influencethe student’s educational choices.

Planning ahead“Tuition is less than half of the cost

of attending school,” said TedMalone,executive director for the division offinancial aid at Purdue University. “Whileeveryone is talking right now about tuitionand college debt, they are forgetting thatother things are really important.”In-state tuition at Indiana’s public

universities varies only slightly from oneschool to the next. For state residents,tuition at Purdue University this schoolyear is $9,992. At Indiana University,it’s slightly higher at $10,208. Ball StateUniversity’s current annual tuition is$8,498; Indiana State University comes inat $8,056 per year.Tuition for out-of-state students is

significantly higher, as is the cost to studyat a private school. But private institutionstend to have large endowments and areable to offer more significant financial-aidpackages.

Paying the way“There are three periods in which

someone can pay for school,” Malone said.“Paying from the past by saving over timeis one way. Parents can pay in the presentwith current income that’s enough to coverthe cost, or they can pay in the future byborrowing money and paying it back later.”Some families foot the bill using a

combination of the three strategies,Malone said. But in his experience, parentsand their college-ready children haven’tput a priority on saving money. As a result,some face a tremendous financial challengewhen college enrollment begins.

Exploring other avenuesOnly about 15 percent of students are

awarded scholarships, Malone said. Acommon misconception is that studentsreceive scholarship money as a rewardfor their academic or athletic excellence.In reality, universities offer them to thestudents they most want to attract to theirschool. As a result, students should exploreand apply to the schools where they’ll rateamong the top performers in their field,discipline or sport.“The more a school wants you over

someone else, the better chance you have ofreceiving a scholarship,” Malone said.

Starting nowStudent loan debts have increased

significantly in the U.S. For a householdwith two adults who have four-yeardegrees, the average college loan balanceis $53,000, according to Demos, a public-policy research organization.While families seek solutions to pay

for higher education, they can begin bysaving early on for their children’s futuretuition. When kids are small, grandparentsand extended family members can givecontribute to a savings account in the child’sname. Parents who set aside even a modestamount each month when child are young

can build up a decent balance.The Indiana CollegeChoice 529 Direct

Savings Plan is a savings option specificallyfor Hoosiers. Taxpayers who contributeto a dedicated account are eligible for a 20percent tax credit. According to Malone,the plan sets up parents for a substantialtax advantage while helping them save forcollege.Another long-term strategy is to enroll

seventh-grade students in the 21st CenturyScholars program. Student who meetincome requirements and fulfill a pledge ofgood citizenship are guaranteed four yearsof tuition at a participating public school inIndiana.To be considered for financial aid,

students should apply to their preferredschools between August and October oftheir senior year in high school. Their nextstep is to apply for scholarship and financialaid opportunities through each institution.At Purdue University, the priority

deadline for incoming freshmen and meritscholarship consideration is Nov. 1. Theschool’s FASFA application process runsJan. 1 throughMarch 1. Statewide, theFASFA filing deadline is March 10. Likeall colleges and universities, Purdue has anumber of online resources to help studentscomplete financial aid and scholarshipapplications.◆

Work your way upFor students, saving up thousands of dollars to

pay for college seems daunting at best, impossibleat worst. Still, young entrepreneurs can findopportunities to earn money and invest intheir own future. Whether they earn money bybabysitting, walking dogs, mowing lawns orworking part-time during high school, they canaccumulate a tidy sum over time.Working during college is another strategy

for motivated students. Ted Malone, executivedirector for the division of financial aid atPurdue University, said parents really shouldn’tworry that a part-time job will interfere withstudents’ academic progress. In fact, studiesshow that college students who work performbetter academically than those who do not.
