In this video, Ipuna Black with the help of her high school son, Kobi, discusses how she paid for her Bachelor's Degree all through scholarships. She had no financial support from her family and walked away with her first degree debt free. She answers four questions: How much does it cost for one school year in a bachelor’s degree program? What does it take to get a scholarship? Do extracurricular activities matter? How much of the financial responsibility should be placed on the college student versus the parent(s) or caretaker?
