Fun Fact Friday: January 27th

75 percent of high school seniors are accepted into their first-choice of colleges, but less than 57 percent can afford to attend.

Although students are often accepted into their first choice of colleges, they are unable to attend due to financial constraints. This means it’s critically important to investigate the college’s financial aid awards before you apply.

Questions to ask before applying:

• Do they offer aid with scholarships and grants?
• What percentage of accepted students receive college-based financial aid?
• What is the average financial aid award?
