Higher education from a prestigious institute is necessary to survive in this competitive world and to find the proper footing for your career. That is why everyone pursues one or the other form of professional course so that they can have a bright future. The cost of education, on the other hand, is another matter altogether. Today, higher education costs are so high that they burn a hole in your pockets. Add to it the rising inflationary trend and if you are thinking of pursuing higher education some years later, the costs would become more prohibitive. In the face of such high education costs, you need a dedicated education fund. This fund cannot be built overnight. You have to plan for the fund in advance. Do you know how?

This would help you arrive at the expected cost of education at the time when you would be applying for the course. You should also factor in any existing investments that you have and the rate of return on such investments. These investments contribute to the total corpus and help in calculating the additional investments required. Lastly, you need to take into consideration the expected return which you would be earning on fresh investments so as to calculate the investment amount which would give you the desired corpus.
