    Worried about how you're going to pay for college?

    If you're like most families you have at least some level of concern. But, as a recent U.S. News and World Report shows, choosing the right school can make a big difference.

    U.S. News and World Report recently surveyed 1,700 schools about meeting student financial need. They identified 63 schools that claim to meet 100% of students' financial need. The schools include both traditional 4 year public and private universities, as well as liberal arts colleges.

    You can view that list, in full, in this post.

    Yesterday, President Obama visited Northern Virginia Community College to sign the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, shorthanded by lawmakers as “SAFRA.”

    One reason the President signed the bill at a community college is to underscore that the new law includes $2 billion to improve educational and career training programs at community colleges. These 2-year schools can be a smart alternative for students and their families who are looking to save money, but attain an associate’s degree, or stay on path to a bachelor’s.
