Only a very few of us can open our checkbook and zip off that amount. And yet somehow it gets done, as thousands of families scrimp a little here, borrow a little there and take advantage of a host of scholarships, grants and tax credits made possible by organizations ranging from the local Lions Club to the Federal Government in Washington...
