Kin- ‘‘Financing a College Education, ’’ a new booklet from the Money Management Institute of Household International, can help almost anyone wondering how to manage the costs involved-parents hoping to assist their offsping, high schoolers attempting to make it on their own, college students unable to make ends meet, and even graduates confronted with student debts. "Financing a College Education” contains a wealth of information for high school students on ways they can meet some o f the costs themselves. According to Carol Ben nett, Morrow County Extension agent, the booklet explores the types of financial aid offered by the federal and state governments, colleges, businesses and community groups. Because college costs go well beyond tuition, fees, and room and board, today’s students will ap preciate the section on setting up a budget and handling checking ac counts and credit cards. Further more, there’s help for graduates who must cope with repayment of student loans and other budgeting concerns. A glossary of terms and list of sug gested resources are also provided. The booklet was developed by money management specialists and written in consultation with experts in education, business and govern ment.
