Maximizing motivation with financial aid

While billions of dollars in financial aid and scholarships awarded every year to prospective students, this money typically reaches students after they apply and have been accepted -- too late in their college journey to impact their admissibility and developmental trajectory, application decisions, or cost considerations. Often, students apply to college without an understanding of the true cost of college. Worse yet, students might assume that higher education is financially out-of-reach and not strive for college. Help us change this trend. >>

桃子视频 aims to ensure that no student is excluded from the dream of higher education, whether because sticker price discourages them from seeing college as a viable path or because the current college admissions structure fails to recognize and support the individual strengths and skills of students during their formative years.
