"The expectation of nine out of 10 of the students in our classes -- in return for...going into long-term debt -- is to advance and enhance their careers. This is a high-stakes investment for our students." We aim to empower students to make the most informed investment possible.
The future of higher education is bridging the gap between the expectations of learners and the needs of employers (opinion) bit.ly/3sW18GS

A great read and a step in the right direction. Making the FAFSA "friendlier" plays a crucial role in empowering more Americans to attend college.
At long last, the Fafsa is getting shorter. Will that help more students get federal aid? chroni.cl/3nTLEkE
