How did you pay off your university tuition fees while still in school? What are some things that undergrads can do?

In the process of creating a S.M.A.R.T goal before uni starts in Aug.

What are some of your financial tips that you have done during school to pay off your tuition fees. Be it planning a budget, taking advantage of student promotions, working part time etc. Would love to get some ideas

I am an undergrad too. Unfortunately, my grades did not make the cut for scholarships.

So here's what I did:

Applied for tuition fee loan (0% interest until after graduation)
Applied for bursaries (both school ones and external ones)
Worked part time (earned around $14 per hour)
Saved up enough to pay off tuition fee and invested that sum into SSB

Currently, I am exploring a few investment tools to increase my ROI.

Cannot agree more with Qin Da, I also think you should do an internship to pay back your tuition fee. Even you may earn less from internship than a part-time job but internship experience brings great benefit for your future career. I only wanna add some channels for you to find internships which are TalentTribe, Glints as well as Telegram channel like Werk Werk. Good luck!

I can afford to pay for my University tuition fees fully. Does it make sense to still take up a bank loan to earn extra interest?

I have just completed NS and saved up about $20k. I am planning to use this money to pay for my Uni school fees too. Should I still invest while paying for my school fees?

With sufficient savings, will it be better to pay for University tuition fees using cash instead of using balance from my PSEA account (which unused will be credited into CPF)?

I am planning to use all the red packet and cash presents for our child, to save and invest it until she is entering university, to use it to pay her school fees. Where should we put the money in?

Can YouTrip Card be used for paying university tuition fees in the UK for foreign students?
