FREE College Money

You will learn a new way to earn extra money to help pay for college.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
  1. Step 1

    Going to college is daunting enough without all the cost. There are many ways to get free money to go to school. I am going to discuss one called UPROMISE. Go to the website upromise.com and sign up.

  2. Step 2

    Easiest thing you can ever do! You are now able to earn money when you shop online by clicking on the links within the site. Fortunately, the people who created the site are aware that we are humans and forget! You are given the option to download a toolbar that automatically keeps track of what sites Upromise pays on.

  3. Step 3

    But it doesn’t stop there! You are also given the option to register your credit cards, your grocery store cards, and even your drugstore cards to earn additional savings. Click on the links listed to register these cards. You are doing things you normally do everyday and are earning FREE money towards your college bill.

  4. Step 4

    There is one more additionally interesting item. Your friends and family can join in and help you. They can also register and decide what percentage they want to contribute to your fund. This is great gift from your family and it doesn’t cost them a thing!

  5. Step 5

    All your earnings go directly into your Upromise college savings account. You can decide how to apply the money in several ways: grow it in a tax free 529 plan, use it to pay on your Sallie Mae Loans, or you can receive a check to pay for college related expenses. The choice is yours! Make sure to explore this site to see all the great offers they have!
