Our view: Searching for scholarships worth the effort
The idea of paying four or more years of a college education for a child is daunting.
A year of tuition, room and board at a state college costs on average $13,600 per year. It’s more than $60,000 annually at private schools such as Northwestern and the University of Chicago.
And there’s no promise, in today’s fragile economy, that a job is waiting once your child has a diploma in hand.
