Apply for scholarships and grants
Look for available scholarships, grants and bursaries for students. Many organisations, universities and local communities offer financial assistance that doesn’t need to be repaid. These can come from universities, local communities or organisations offering support based on academic achievement, income or other criteria.
Work-study opportunities
Some schools offer programmes where you can earn money while gaining relevant work experience in your field of study.
Consider community college or online courses
Community colleges offer high-quality education at a fraction of the cost. You can also explore online learning platforms like Coursera for affordable, accredited courses.
Pay in instalments
Some education providers allow you to pay tuition or fees in instalments, making the financial burden more manageable.
