Meet your organization's college access objectives with Mapping Your Future
January 18, 2017
It's a worthy goal and one shared by federal, state, and private organizations — increasing the number of students that complete a postsecondary education.
In addition, many colleges and universities have strategic goals to increase enrollment and graduation rates on their own campuses.
Mapping Your Future provides resources and services to help support efforts to reach college access and success goals. The services can be customized for a particular state or organization.
- Resources for students and families, including career selection, early awareness, college planning, and money management tools. These resources encourage students to look at all sources of free funding before considering a student loan. The goal is to help students and families be prepared with current, accurate and complete information about options to pay for a higher education and to help guide them through the process of determining their best options in regards to a higher education. In addition, Mapping Your Future can provide webinars and content and other services customized for a specific state or institution.
- Information and education around the hot topics of higher education and financial literacy. Many are trying to determine if a higher education is worth the expense and debt. The questions many are asking themselves are:
- Is higher education worth it?
- How am I going to pay for it?
- If I choose to seek higher education and need to borrow money, how can I manage the debt and maintain a good quality of life?
Mapping Your Future provides many online services to assist students and families as they grapple with these questions.
Many higher education institutions and industry organizations want to inform parents and families about higher education and financial aid. Helping parents understand the value of higher education and how to pay for it is part of the mission of many of our organizations.
As you include communications and outreach as a part of your planning, be sure to include Mapping Your Future as part of the tactics to accomplish your strategic goals.
