520			_a"Most parents haven't saved a penny for education--or for anything else--in recent years. In 2000, the average gap between a college's financial aid offer and a family's ability to pay was about $3,000. Since then, tuition at public universities, for example, has risen an average of 21 percent and shows every sign of continuing to outpace inflation. Meanwhile, more than 2 million Americans have lost their jobs. And the stock market collapse has erased 42 cents of every dollar in the market in 2000, a whopping $8 trillion. With fewer resources to meet those higher costs, families can expect the gulf between the cost of a college education and what they can afford to pay to grow even more." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article provides some strategies for meeting the high cost of a college education.
