College Inflation at its Peak

College Board’s annual “Trends in College Pricing” report stated that tuition and fees at public four-year colleges increased by 6.3 percent of the 2006-07 academic year.

College tuition has rose as much as 35 percent in five years which has put a road block for college students as government grants are not making up for the tuition spike.

Some good news is that there is a lot of aid for student that take the time and more community colleges are being keeping their low tuition prices for students who can not afford to go to a university.

As private colleges price for tuition and board averages around $30,367, it is being more popular for students to attend four-year colleges with the tuition price average of $12,796.
This problem is being blamed on the increase in people attending college but should only be blamed on the amount of financial aid, grants, and scholarships that are being given out to students. But I guess as long as this is happening than take advantage of it as soon as possible.

God Bless
