How do I plan to pay for college?

The college I am planning to go to is Fresno State. I have already been accepted into the

college but I have multiple ways that I can pay for college right now. One of the ways that I plan

to pay for college is that I have a job at the moment. And I’m saving a couple hundred dollars

every paycheck into my savings for college or the near future. I have been working at the job for

a month now and I’ve been doing pretty good so far and I hope I keep it up.

One of the other ways I plan to pay for college is by cal grants and loans. I have already

received an email from the mail saying that if I go to a CSU I am able to get $5,000 dollars for

free and I do not have to pay it back. This is amazing because its a big help for me and its

amazing how the state is just giving back free money. The other way I plan to pay for college is

by loans. I have been taught that college is an investment and it should be invested in because

that is how you get your dream job. So if it takes me thousands of dollars to invest in it then I

will. And once I get my dream job I would start paying off the loans and it would be great for me

in the near future.

The last way I plan to pay for college is by scholarships. I have applied for over 20

scholarships this year and in hopes to get some scholarship money back. I have not received

anything back yet but the year is not over and I possibly could be getting some money from that.

This is another way of source of money and it would be cool getting free money like that. These
are all the ways I plan to pay for college. The first two ways I am pretty certain I would do but

the third option I have no idea if I would be getting any scholarship money back.
