Based on the two informational passages that you've read thus far this week, write about how you will personally strive to avoid student loan debt?

Student loan debt can be a major financial burden, so I want to avoid or minimize it as much as possible. There are several strategies I can use to achieve this goal. First, I can focus on earning scholarships and grants. Many organizations, schools, and businesses offer scholarships based on academic performance, community service, sports, or unique talents. Since scholarships and grants do not need to be repaid, they are a great way to reduce the cost of college. And second, I can consider attending a community college first. Many students save money by completing their general education courses at a community college before transferring to a four-year university. Tuition at community colleges is usually much lower, which can help reduce the need for student loans. But today we read about college tuition and the debt that comes with college. This taught me a lot and made me prepare for college.
