attending a post-secondary institution. The tuition at some institutions
is too much for some aspiring students' budgets --- especially when
there are inadequate scholarship funds available. However, there are
institutions that offer tuition-free education. Students can take charge
of their education without financial worry or anxiety. These
institutions give associate and bachelor's degrees.
