Lack of Financial Support is the Number One Reason Students Drop Out of College!
Education Aid Is Here To Provide Students with the Financial Support They Need to Succeed!
Education Aid changes the lives of students around the country by providing them with the financial support they need to complete their education. This is done through the Support a Student Scholarship Program. Many disadvantaged students do not receive enough financial aid to pay for non-tuition related expenses and ultimately end up dropping out of school. Education Aid identifes these students, and provides them with the financial support necessary for them to complete their degrees.
Here Are The Facts:
- Nearly half of today’s college students do NOT receive any help to pay for school from parents or other relatives.
-
1 out of 3 college students who receive no financial help from family report the cost of textbooks and other fees besides tuition, as having a significant effect on them financially.
-
More than half of students who drop out of college report “needing to work” as a major reason why.
Data based on a national survey of young adults, ages 22 to 30, conducted by Public Agenda. The full study can be found at www.publicagenda.org.
