Learn about Liberal Arts education in the U.S. and get tips on applying for scholarships. Our book of the month guides students on how to get money for college and a special information session on the 20th provides in depth information on financial aid for graduate students. Don’t forget to check out our scholarships of the month.
Americans believe a college education is worth the money, but they don’t believe college is affordable and don’t know where to go to get reliable information about financial aid, according to the findings of an extensive research study conducted on behalf of a broad coalition of higher education associations and institutions. The study identifies a wide gap between what the public knows about financing higher education and what it believes it knows. The study overwhelmingly showed that the public is not aware of how much financial aid is available to help meet college bills or where to find it. They also greatly overestimate the price of attending college. Overall, the study revealed six key findings:
- The public worries a great deal about the price of college. Seventy-one percent of those surveyed believe that college is too expensive. Additionally, 79 percent of African Americans and 82 percent of Hispanics are more likely to think that college is not affordable.
- Despite the public’s worries about the affordability of higher education in general and a positive self-assessment of their personal ability to afford it, the public has a distorted view of what it costs to attend college — thinking it costs considerably more than it does.
- Fifty-five percent of those surveyed do not think colleges try to keep the amount they charge at affordable levels for families, and 80 percent think colleges and universities make a profit.
Myths and Realities about Paying for College
Myth: You really don’t need college to be a success — look at Bill Gates.
Reality: Bill Gates’ story is exceptional. Today, the average annual income of male fulltime workers with a bachelor’s degree is over 50 percent higher than for those with a high school diploma. Those with an associate degree earn 20 percent more than high school graduates. The earnings differentials are larger for women. Today, some postsecondary education or training is necessary for almost every good job.
Myth: Only minorities get extra help.
Reality: Very little aid is awarded solely on the basis of students’ race or ethnicity. Generally, students from racial or ethnic minority groups are more likely to receive scholarships because they are more likely to have financial need.
Myth: Community colleges offer only vocational education.
Reality: Community colleges provide a wide range of educational options, all at a low cost to students. Open admissions, nearby locations, a wide array of courses, flexible class schedules, and low tuition prices make community colleges readily accessible for everyone.
Myth: There is no basis for the soaring increase in college prices.
Reality: Colleges are trying to do even better, searching for new and innovative ways to cut costs and minimize tuition increases.

Education is necessary for everyone, whether rich or poor, but if you cannot afford a tuition fee, so can I study in the USA for free? Pursuing higher education in the United States can be a rewarding experience for locals, but the cost of tuition can be a significant barrier for many students.
The cost of tuition is notoriously high in the U.S., and international students are often hit the hardest with a higher tuition rate than domestic students. However, there are options available for students who want to study in the U.S. for free or at a reduced cost...
Meaning: New education designates a pedagogical movement whose main characteristic
is the involvement of the person in his own training.Origin: This expression was used
from the 1890s, that is to say with the appearance of the first schools providing new
education. The very first opened in 1889 on English soil. The new education defends the
idea that learning must above all serve an overall evolution of the person.
EducationUSA Academy is a short-term academic program that provides English language courses, college preparatory content, tours of diverse colleges and universities, and cross-cultural activities to 15- to 17-year-old students from around the world.

The EducationUSA Academy 2015 Pilot Program will bring self-funded 15- to 17-year old students from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru to one of two host universities for a four-week academic program in July. Students will take intensive English language classes mixed with college preparatory content, covering material such as how to apply to U.S. colleges and universities, how to write a strong essay, U.S. professors’ expectations around academic work and classroom participation, strategies for taking required standardized tests, and much more. They will experience life on a U.S. college campus for four weeks, living in on-campus residence halls, eating meals in on-campus dining facilities, and socializing with American students. Academy students will also have the opportunity to tour at least five diverse U.S. college or university campuses during the program. The program will include fun activities such as picnics and volleyball games with American students. Academy students will attend university or community sports and arts events and visit local tourist sites such as state parks and museums. Students will apply directly to the Academy host institution of their choice and will pay their own tuition, travel and other program-related costs. The program cost will be less than $5000, including lodging and meals. Airfare is not included in the program cost.
This is a pilot program for 2015, hosted exclusively by Syracuse University and University of Colorado Boulder, aimed at students from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. The program will be expanded to more U.S. institutions and to students from around the world beginning in Summer 2016.

Advising Tip of the Month: The College Search
Just like people, every university has its own unique personality. When choosing
a program, you should take the school’s culture into considera on along with
other criteria such as academic offerings, faculty interests, and scholarship op‐
portuni es. Remember, most of your me will be spent outside the classroom,
so be sure to choose a school that matches who you are as an individual as well
as a student.
Here are just a few examples:
Is school spirit important to you? Consider a school with a vibrant sports scene
and a variety of campus clubs and organiza ons. An ac ve fraternity and so-
rority life can also add to the campus community.
• U. of Southern California, Notre Dame, U. of Texas at Aus n, U. of Virginia
Are you passionate about causes, poli cal debate, and doing your part to make the world a be er place? Find
a school where students are known for poli cal ac vism.
• Brown, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, U. of Wisconsin at Madison, Stanford, Howard U.
Are you free-spirited? Do you want to be surrounded by crea ve people who aren’t afraid to be different?
Look for a school that fosters independent thought and takes a less-tradi onal approach to educa on.
