"With the total amount of student loans topping $1 trillion, it is no wonder that people are looking for alternative ways to pay for college. According to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Edvisors, a site that helps students figure out ways to pay for college, 2015 college graduates will leave college with an average of $35,051 in student debt – a record high... Here are six things college students can do that may help cut down or eliminate the amount of student loans they need to take out as they work toward their degree. 1. Work while attending school... 2. Sign up for a work-study program... 3. Apply for scholarships... 4. Apply for grants... 5. Set up a crowdfunding site... 6. Take advantage of employer reimbursement programs... Just because student loan debt is on the rise in America, it doesn’t mean you have to join the debt party. Take advantage of one or more of the opportunities above to help pay for your college costs and minimize – or eliminate – the amount of money you’ll need to take out in student loans."
