529 tip
A common approach is to pay the bursar from a bank account, then reimburse yourself from a 529 in the same calendar year. Qualified tuition and required fees can count. The same dollars should not also be used for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and state plans differ. This is general information, not tax advice.
Published card fee used here: 2.9%.

These offers sit outside the fee comparison. They do not change which way of paying we call cheapest, and they do not change the fee data.
Student loans
Compare private student loans
Use grants and federal aid first.
A private loan is a different product from a payment plan: it is borrowed money, it usually needs a credit check, and you repay it over years. Look at it only if grants, federal aid, and a payment plan will not cover this term.
Refinance
Refinance an existing student loan
Use grants and federal aid first.
Refinancing replaces a loan you already have. It does not pay this term's tuition bill. Federal loans can lose federal protections if you refinance them into a private loan.
Credit card
A rewards card, only if you pay it off
Rewards can beat a school card fee only when you pay the statement in full. Carrying the tuition balance is usually more expensive than any points.
Credit card partner link is not configured yet.
Tuition insurance
Tuition insurance if a withdrawal is the risk you are insuring
This is optional coverage for money you could lose if a student withdraws, not a way to reduce the fee on a normal payment.
