Sallie Mae has just released its annual report on “How America Pays for College”.  Conducted since 2008, the report is based on interviews with students and parents currently in college concerning the sources used to pay for higher education. The overall trends show that parents are contributing less, and relying more on scholarships/grants and cost-cutting measures to pay for college. Over the next several blogposts CSCubed will breakdown some of the important findings of this report.
