Washington state increases yearly tuition cap
Written by HmD on 5/20/2009 03:56:00 PMThe Governor of Washington State signed a bill a couple days ago which increased the 7% cap on yearly tuition increase to 14 %. Undoubtedly, this is a serious blow for prospective students especially in a recession. There are two options for students, who just cannot afford the high cost of tuition apart from getting loans and maxing out credit cards.
Students can go to College part time and try to get a job to help pay for the less expensive tuition; or
Seek to get certified in the area you are interested in, work for a year or two and then go to college when you have the funds or when you are in a better position to get a loan and repay. The work experience along with good grades may also help you get scholarships. Some employers are also willing to pay a part of your tuition if you intend on working for them after you have graduated.
