Discuss how you will be paying for your college education – parent's contributions, grants, loans, scholarships, work-study, other methods, and/or combinations of any of these methods. This will help you know more about the sources of your income, and the amounts anticipated. You will be able to determine whether or not you will receive regular contributions and gifts from your family. If you are on your own, you will also need to consider how you will pay for your education. Gathering all of this information will help you develop a financial plan. You may also seek advice on managing your money in college from other adults, older siblings, friends, teachers, financial aid counselors, and others who have been successful at managing money."

However, you will also need to understand the details and rules of your financial aid package (scholarships, grants, loans, etc.) in order to keep the money coming in for future terms. Read the information about your financial aid carefully. Some loans, for example, have very specific obligations (some lenders require you/ your parents to pay right away, and others allow you to pay several months after graduation). Most scholarships require you to maintain a certain grade point average. And, work-study jobs may have certain requirements. Keep a financial aid folder, and file important papers in it. Keep a calendar with the opening dates for filing future\nfinancial aid statements. Reapply as early as possible. You can get this information from the campus financial aid office. Remember, it's up to you to keep up and be responsible for these matters. Also, get the lowest amount of student loan money needed to meet your educational expenses. While student loans are an investment in your future, they also place you in debt. Some students spend 10 to 20 years after college repaying college loans. Large monthly payments on student loan bills will impact your future plans for purchasing a car or a home, or getting an advanced degree after you complete your college education. Avoid using any student loan money for nonessential school items such vacations, furniture, autos, etc., as the money must be paid back with interest. Remember, if you do not complete your college degree, and have student loans, you are still responsible for repaying the loans."

If you spend more than your income, you will need to readjust your income and expenses. Do this by finding a way to make more money such as a part-time job (only consider if you can manage your classes and your grades), and/ or cutting back on the money you spend. Spend first on items that are necessities. Take care of things that you want last. Look for ways to reduce your spending such as: shopping more carefully for bargains; using coupons; sharing rides with friends, and splitting the cost of gas or food if you travel away from campus; buying good used books at a discounted price; and/or trading services (such as haircare and nails) with a friend where no money is exchanged. Remember, your spending should not exceed your income."

Having a checking account may be a good idea, and it is safer than carrying cash. Also, your bank statement provides a good record of the checks you have written. You must however, know and understand the rules set by the bank on bank fees to avoid costly charges."

Select a bank that will offer you the best services suited to your needs with the lowest fees. You may decide to open a checking and savings account. When writing checks, enter the amount into your checkbook register and subtract it from your balance each time. Avoid writing checks that bounce which are checks written on an account where there is not enough money to cover them. Bounced checks may cost you $25 - $35 or more per check, affect your credit rating, and may cause the bank to close your account. Numerous bounced checks with unpaid fees will send your account to collections and in some states can send you to jail."
