Kevin is in 8th grade and he wants to attend college. He claims he needs to research how much college will cost for his chosen degree and fill out the FAFSA before he can prepare and save for college. Which statement about his claim is correct?

Kevin can begin saving for college before he knows the exact cost or financial aid he may receive. Scholarships can help pay tuition, but they may not cover every expense, and savings could help with other college costs. So “It is never too early to start saving for college” is the correct statement; filing the FAFSA does not guarantee that grants and scholarships will cover everything.
