How I negotiated my financial aid and saved money on college - Business Insider

My senior year of high school, I had my heart set on a pricey private university I really couldn't afford, so I used three strategies toI waited until the last minute to accept the offer, allowing the school to have a better picture of what financial aid they'd have left to give.

But I couldn't take it. I realized that the scholarships they offered me still didn't allow me to attend. Tuition alone at this private school cost $33,795 my first year. My family and I had honest conversations about money, and it became evident that we'd never be able to afford it. I decided to try every trick in the book to make my dream happen. Doing these three things helped me eventually cover two-thirds of my tuition costs and attend my dream school.I wasn't happy with my first scholarship offer — it was a total of $15,500 per year, not even half of my $33,795 tuition for a year. I'd still be responsible for $18,295 per for tuition alone, and I could still go to another school for less.

Scholarships are kinda suspect... I tell everyone to invest in JunkWax, especially 1990 Topps. If she would have been stockpiling this stuff, college would have been FREE for her... Plus, I have over 1,000 of them, so I think I know what I'm talking about...
