High School Student Perceptions of College Financing
Explore the latest research about how students research college costs
Cost, financial aid, and paying for college are top of mind for nearly all prospective students and their families. Many may not be aware of all the resources they have to pay for college or understand how the investment in an education may pay off after graduation. How can you better engage students and families in this conversation?
Start by exploring what students say about how they research college financing. Watch this webinar and see the latest results from an RNL survey of 1,250 high school juniors and seniors. You will hear insights into questions such as:
- How do high school students learn about college costs?
- How can you reach high school students so that information about financial aid and cost has the most impact?
- How many students expect to borrow to pay for college, and if so, how much?
- How many students continue to search for new colleges and universities in 12th grade?
- Do students understand their financial award communications and are they satisfied with their awards?
