The cost of college can place a heavy burden on students, not to mention parents. This week on Florida Matters we're talking about the high cost of education and have some ideas about how to pay for it.

In this preview, Florida Matters host Carson Cooper speaks with Dameion Lovett with the University Scholarships and Financial Aid Office at the University of South Florida.
