The financial burden of higher education continues to grow more challenging for families navigating today’s economic landscape. With inflation affecting household budgets and student loan debt remaining a persistent concern, many are reevaluating how to manage college expenses. Rising tuition, housing costs, and textbook prices contribute to the strain, prompting students and parents to seek scholarships, part-time employment, and community college pathways as alternatives. Economic instability has also led some to delay enrollment or choose more affordable institutions. Institutions and policymakers are under increasing pressure to address affordability and accessibility in post-secondary education, especially as wage growth fails to keep pace with educational costs.
