<p>Great suggestions…
There are some other routes, too. If you granddaughter can get a job at an aerospace/defense contractor, they will typically pay for her college costs while she works for them part-time. </p>
<p>I think I read somewhere that even the Home Depot offers some kind of tuition assistance to its employees. </p>
<p>Debt is not a good idea. The monthly repayments would be an anchor around her neck between the ages of 23-33. </p>
<p>If necessary, she’ll have to work part-time as a waitress where she can earn enough to pay for a community college until she can transfer to a 4 year college.</p>
<p>Your granddaughter is lucky to have you. :)</p>
<p>BTW…there are things she can do to correct her credit since she was the victim of identity theft.</p>
