## Resource

College doesn't have to mean overwhelming debt, and most families don't realize just how many opportunities exist to lower the cost before their student ever steps foot on campus. In this episode, Shellee Howard welcomes Josh See, founder of College IN High School, to uncover the hidden strategies that can help students earn college credit, save thousands of dollars, and build confidence before graduation. Josh explains how AP courses, CLEP exams, dual enrollment, and other little-known programs can dramatically reduce both the cost and time required to earn a degree. You'll also learn why not all colleges treat transfer credits the same, how families can avoid costly mistakes with scholarships and freshman status, and why strategic planning is the key to making college affordable. Whether your teen knows exactly what they want to study or has no idea what's next, this conversation will help you better understand the options available and empower your family to make smarter college decisions.
