More Private Colleges Joining the $50K Club

Who says you can’t put a price on education? Recently, more private colleges are increasing their tuition to surpass the $50,000 a year mark. Come next year, incoming freshmen attending Harvard will pay $50, 724 for tuition, room and board, and fees. Other colleges that already charge over $50,000 are Tufts University, Boston College, Boston University, and Smith College. Next year, however, Dartmouth College, Wellesley College, Brandeis University and more are expected to be asking for over $50,000 a year. Thus, students who qualify for financial aid need to capitalize on whatever financial aid that is provided from the university. Students and parents need to contact the financial aid officers for that specific university to ask of scholarship opportunities or grants being offered. In addition, there are many scholarships not associated with the university that are offered to college students.
