Here's your money briefing for Wednesday, February 12th.
I'm Mariana Aspuru for The Wall Street Journal.
Ciara Bile wanted a college degree from her dream school without the $350,000 price tag.
Her journey to go to school without taking on student loans tells a bigger story of the growing gap between college sticker prices and what attendees actually pay.
We'll hear from Wall Street Journal personal finance reporter Oyin Adedoyin about how students and families are finding ways to cut the cost of college education and how Sierra did it.
That's after the break.
To get her college degree without paying hundreds of thousands of dollars, Sierra Bile found luck in outside scholarships, financial aid, and old-fashioned negotiation.
Wall Street Journal reporter Oyen Adedoyen recently wrote a piece about this, and she joins me.
Oyen, what were Sierra's options when she first started looking for ways to pay for school?
WSJ reporter Oyin Adedoyin is back with me.
Oyin, Ciara chipped away at the cost of attending NYU with those scholarships.
Where did she find them?
And are those bigger ticket scholarships getting more competitive for students to land?
Sierra applied to these scholarships.
She was also very proactive in her financial aid conversations with NYU.
How did she negotiate with them?
For students who are interested in trying to get the most out of the aid that's out there or parents of students trying to help them, what's a checklist they can have so that they've exhausted all of their options before they take out loans?
That's WSJ reporter Oyin Adedoyin.
And that's it for your Money Briefing.
I'm Mariana Aspuru for The Wall Street Journal.
