The cost of education can be a cause of concern for many, especially when it comes to paying for a college or graduate degree. However, keep in mind that few students actually pay the full tuition sticker price. In fact, in the 2010-2011 school year, 85% of students received financial aid to help reduce the cost of going to school, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Online students are also eligible for this financial assistance; learn more about your aid options with our guides.
