If you are a Junior in high school, it’s time to start planning for your future.  If you plan on going to college, now is the time to start preparing how to pay for it.  First, look towards grants and scholarships.  Check out this site for starters www.scholarships.com.  Next, make sure you apply for as much federal financial aid as possible.  Start with http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.  Once you have figured out what school you want to go to, what it will cost, and what you can contribute - consider a work study program or if you absolutely must a private student loan.  Key factors for getting financial aid are

1) apply early

2) have good grades

3) do your homework - there are a lot of resources available to you but make sure you are working with a reputable company.
