What is the average cost of college tuition?
This is one question that most parents and future students ask themselves and need to know in order to plan for a college education.
The national average college tuition rate for public universities is $4,694 per year for in state residents.
This figure includes both tuition rates and fees for a full time student.
The average college tuition rate at private colleges and universities is around $20,000 per year in tuition and fees.
Many students take advantage of the low tuition rates of two-year public colleges and junior colleges.
The average tuition for a two year school is only $2,076 per year.
College Tuition Increase
While it is good to get an idea of the current cost of tuition, it is also important to understand the expected increase in tuition costs.
Parents and students who still have several years before entering college should be keenly aware of the projected estimates rather than the current costs so that they can plan accordingly.
Tuition rates increase at about twice the general inflation rate. On average, tuition rates tend to increase about 8% per year.
Some academic years see a greater increase than others and many economic factors come into play when a college decides to increase tuition.
For the school year 2005-2006 many colleges dramatically raised tuition rates. An example of such tuition hikes is at the University of Colorado where tuition rates have been raised for all of the system's campuses. Tuition at the Boulder campus will go up by 27.8 percent, from $3,480 to $4,446. Other University of Colorado campuses will see a similar increase.
And now the good news?
Even though college tuition rates increase, more students than ever are benefiting from educational aid programs. According to a report from The College Board, "In 2003-04, the amount the average student actually paid for a public four-year institution, after receiving grant aid and education tax benefits, was about $1,300 per student."
Government grants such as the pell grant provide funding for many college students.
In fact for students who attend two-year colleges the grant award may cover the entire cost of tuition.
Scholarship programs awarded by colleges, businesses and non profit organizations are available to help students defray the cost of college tuition.
There are many college scholarship programs available and it is becoming even easier to find these programs with the use of the internet.
With a combination of savings, financial aid, and scholarships many students today are able to afford college tuition and further their education.

Bite Your Tongue! 10 Ways to Be an Effective Listener
Bite Your Tongue! 10 Ways to Be an Effective Listener
by: Joy Fisher-Sykes
Have you ever spoken to someone and then felt the need to say, ?Did you hear what I just said?? Why did you feel the need to ask? Probably because the listener didn?t provide you with the feedback you needed to know you were heard.
Listening is the most important, yet often most neglected, communication skill. In fact, the ability to listen is often rated one of the top five abilities employers seek in their staff. It?s also certainly highly sought after in the people nearest and dearest to our hearts.
Here are 10 ways to be an effective listener:
- Recognize the difference between hearing and listening
- There is a very distinct difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is to merely perceive sound.
- Listening is the mindful, conscious act and desire to hear, comprehend, and response to others.
- There is a very distinct difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is to merely perceive sound.

DISSOLUTION BY AFFIDAVIT
Personal Appearance for Hearing Not Required in Missouri
The elimination of the requirement of personal appearance for hearing in Missouri dissolution of marriage actions arose out of, what may be termed in its broadest sense, a prisoner?s civil rights action.
In State ex rel. Kittrell v. Carr, 878 S.W.2d 859 (Mo. App. 1994), the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, addressed the issue of whether a personal appearance for hearing is necessary to obtain a Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. The appellant in that case was an inmate in custody of the Missouri Department of Corrections whose petition for Dissolution of Marriage was dismissed for his failure to appear for a hearing after his wife?s default.
The inmate?s spouse had been served, but failed to file any responsive pleading, and was in default. There were...
