Minnesota Program Helps Students Tackle College Costs

For many parents, they want their kids to have the best opportunities in life. Most think about their children going to college, but so many are finding it harder to save as much money as they would like to try and help to avoid expensive loans.  

There is a way that parents can help their kids get a “leg up” on college and save money in the process.  

The Minnesota Department of Education reminded us on “X” recently that students that are in the 10th, 11th or 12th grade can participate in what is called Postsecondary Enrollment Options or PSEO for short.

This program allows those within their last three years of high school to earn college credits while still attending high school. These courses are often offered on the campus of the Postsecondary Institution, while some others are offered online. 

Some of the colleges or universities only allow juniors or seniors to participate in their programs and they may also have additional guidelines as well.  

Here is where the savings come into play. Students are not charged for books, courses, or any support services that may be offered. If equipment is required for the courses, that would be an expense that the student's family would have to fulfill. 

This program understands that students are also in high school and offers some flexibility, students can enroll in the program on a full-time or a part-time basis.
