Planning for Your Children's College Education

And public colleges, although significantly less expensive than their private counterparts, are still costly. It is important to understand the choices and options available to you to help you plan carefully for this major expenditure.

- Have an idea about how much college will cost.
- Have basic information on investment alternatives you should consider.
