University costs have been rising for years and a new report on U.S. university costs in eighteen years time underlines this point.
According to Wealthfront, a U.S. based investment platform, the following figures show projected U.S. university costs in 2036, 18 years from now:
- Private university costs are likely to be $303,000, up from $167,000 today
- Public university costs are likely to be $184,000, compared with $101,000 now
They based their figures on Department of Education data and accounted for inflation and other economic and market considerations.
The figures are scalable around the world. This is a strong indicator that astute financial planning is needed now to ensure you can help your children attend university and have access to options that only university education unlocks.
