Need Money for Your Kid's College Fund?

Have you checked the news lately? The cost of attending college is on the rise yet again, thus further increasing the gap between the have and have-nots. Savvy parents know how to take advantage of every thrifty opportunity...including sweepstakes. Here are three finds that I discovered and am more than happy to pass along. What do you have to lose? It will only take minutes to apply, and you may win thousands in return. Good Luck!

2. Summer Reading Program Sweepstakes


If you signed your kids up for the summer reading program at the local library, you may have noticed the bookmark with the Path2College logo.

This will be the third year that families participating in the summer reading program at any of Georgia's public libraries may enter.
