My goal is to have zero student loan debt out of college. To get to that point I need to exploit every opportunity I can get to help take the load of my expenses.
Apply for as many scholarships and grants as possible, get good grades, save during high school, get a job in college, and basically just scrimp and save as much as you can. If you are going to a top school you can probably get scholarships and if not the tuition should be lower. Honestly, basic good money habits should get you through.
