Innovative Financial Aid for Today's Students

    Though a college education is seen as a prerequisite in a competitive job market, financial burdens keep many students from finishing their studies and earning a degree. According to a 2021 survey conducted by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, 42 percent of adults age 20 to 34 dropped out of college for financial reasons.
