Scholarships! The Changing Lives Together Foundation (CLT Foundation) is offering $125,000 in college scholarships to high school seniors who live with, or have lived with, a life-altering medical condition or circumstance. Applicants can be in public, private, or home school and must reside in Mecklenburg, Union, Gaston, Lincoln, Stanly, Cabarrus, Catawba, Iredell, Rowan, Lancaster, or York County. The scholarship considers how the medical circumstance has impacted the applicant's life, financial need (not a requirement, but is considered), high school academic achievement, and overall character. Individual scholarships range from $2,500 to $10,000 per year. The deadline to apply is April 5, 2024.

This!!! "With programs like these, Cruz Rivera is leaning into one of the inherent strengths of institutions like NAU. Unlike elite flagships, which attract many students from out of state who then scatter across the country and the world after graduation, regional universities like NAU overwhelmingly educate in-state students who go on to build their careers in the state. This means that the money state governments spend on regional universities has, according to recent studies, a better rate of return for taxpayers than dollars spent on flagship universities." --https://lnkd.in/gFH9SWnv Northern Arizona University American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU)

What's the difference between ED and EA? 🎯 Early Decision (ED) Binding Agreement: If you’re accepted, you must attend that school. Deadline: Usually November 1. BUT Webb Institute, Meredith College and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have slightly earlier dates as do some others. ED is ideal for students who have a clear first-choice school and are ready to commit. 🎯 Early Action (EA) Non-Binding: You can apply to multiple schools and don’t have to commit until the regular decision date (usually May 1). Deadline: Often November 1 or November 15, depending on the institution. EA allows you to hear back early while keeping your options open! #CollegeAdmissions #EarlyDecision #EarlyAction #ApplicationDeadlines #CollegeBound #HigherEd #LinkedInEducation #StudentSuccess #CareersGuidance #Careers #Futures #FutureU #UniversityChoice #UniversityTips #UniversityAdvice

Did you know that PASSHE schools like Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania remain an affordable option for students even in times of INCREDIBLE inflation? PASSHE has managed to freeze tuition for the last 6 years leaving undergrad tuition at only $7,716 per year. The state is now seeking to keep tuition at this cost for a 7th year. 👏 That deserves a round of applause. 👏 📰 From today's Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education update - "Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education has kept tuition the same for six consecutive years, despite historic inflation, in an effort to help attract more students to teaching and other in-demand jobs. The efforts incentivize Pennsylvania residents to pursue careers in classrooms and other jobs with worker shortages or careers in high demand. PASSHE has kept in-state undergraduate tuition at $7,716 a year for six years. If tuition had kept pace with inflation, students would pay 21% more today. In April, PASSHE’s Board of Governors reaffirmed its request for a state appropriation of at least $623.7 million—an increase of $38.1 million (or 6.5%)—for the 2024-25 fiscal year to enable the State System to keep tuition frozen for a remarkable seventh consecutive year. PASSHE universities deliver the lowest-cost four-year degrees in Pennsylvania. The price State System students pay for tuition, fees, room, board and common expenses has been nearly flat over the last five years. As a result, enrollment of new first-time students is up a combined 10% over two years." You can read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/g-VW5RAD
