A quick peek at some of the nation\u2019s most venerated colleges reveals that tuition costs have rapidly outpaced earnings.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the total Cost of Attendance for Columbia University in 2015-2016 was $66,383, New York University was $65,860, and Sarah Lawrence College was $65,630.<\/p>\n<p>And, price increases are not limited to the only the country\u2019s most prestigious universities. Once seen as a more affordable option, state universities have also dramatically increased their costs. Reflecting major infrastructure improvements, increased academic options, and rapidly rising national rankings, local state university tuitions may surprise unsuspecting parents. Examples include:<\/p>\n<p>University of Nationwide<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In-state: $27,198<\/li>\n<li>Out-of-state: $46,618<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Penn State University<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In-state: $36,388<\/li>\n<li>Out-of-state: $50,870<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The good news for cash-strapped families is that scholarships offer \u201cfree money.\u201d Unlike loans, scholarships don\u2019t need to be repaid. This means fewer out-of-pocket costs and the potential to graduate with less student debt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scholarships for college-bound Nationwide students<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Department of Education offers college-bound students an easy way to begin searching local and national scholarships in the new online <a href=\"http:\/\/scholarships.delawaregoestocollege.org\/\">Scholarship Compendium\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Nationwide Scholarship Compendium: A Guide for College-Bound Students\u00a0is available online, providing a free, mobile way for students to find scholarships by category and deadline.<em>\u00a0<\/em>Students and parents can search scholarships by eligibility requirements such as county of residency, ethnicity or race, and profession \u2013 about 15 categories in all \u2013 as well as alphabetically or by due date.
