I have four requirements that need to be met including, 3.0 GPA or higher, 18 or higher on the ACT, 95% attendance, and a high school diploma. I support free community college because it gives opportunities, it can lower the unemployment rate, and save money. Free community college can give opportunities to lower class people who can’t afford college. If these people want to go to college, but they can’t, now they would be able to. They would be able to receive an education to help them get a job and make money.
The passage of the “Pick the Public’s Pocket No More” bill would lower college application rates, lower college graduation rates, and lower our country’s number of new college graduates for open positions in the work force. Without grants, many Americans would not be able to pursue college degrees because of the debt they would acquire financing their degree with loans alone. Federal grants allow young adults, who are the future of our country, to pursue a college degree without the full burden of college debts after graduation. (M) When considering whether or not to pursue a degree, many are persuaded to apply because they often receive grants to assist
“College, Inc” continues on to show viewers how for-profit colleges spend more money on getting people to go to these schools than on what the students are getting out of it. You see how these schools depend on the recruiters and sales people to get more and more people to enroll
Inflation aside, this means college is getting more expensive. Unless your parents are wealthy enough to pay for your tuition or you worked your tail off to receive a full-ride scholarship, more often than not, you have to take out student loans to fund your education. As a result of the high price tag of getting an education, many graduates struggle when faced with the trouble of paying off that huge debt. It’s no longer a right to attend higher education. To many, myself included, attending college is now a luxury.
Some people may think that a university provides a higher education than community college. Since many part-time professors work full time at the state university, we're getting the same education, just cheaper. Therefore, the education is mostly the same. Actually, it is easier to transfer to a 4 year than start as a freshman. According to the article “Something to Fall Back On: Community Colleges as a Safety Net” by Kalogrides; he states that “We find that the safety net function of community colleges is especially important for disadvantaged students who are significantly more likely to transfer down or drop out of higher education entirely without completing a Bachelor’s degree.” As what he said, there are many people may not get a university degree for many reasons, or just because they fail to meet accreditation standards.
They will have the opportunity to have their education paid for, understand the importance of education, and possibly learn a valuable skill while being able to serve their country. The promise of enlistment bonuses and money for college is guaranteed in writing when a person enlists. Money and opportunity for college is always available. The most common reason that this writer has observed for it not being used is lack of desire by the individual. Some people just do not desire to get a higher education, even if they don’t have to pay for it.
In the bad economy of today, tuition rate are increasing constantly. It is difficult for students to find colleges who have tuition rates for full time student under $5,000 per semester. Since UTA uses flat rate, full time students have to pay $4439 per semester which include using every facilities available and 12 to 30 credit hours (“Description of Tuition, Fees and Charges”).This way student who are taking more classes can save a lot of money than student who are taking less classes. UTA also meets the demand for graduate students. The graduation rate shows successful completion of college and gives an idea about quality of the program provided by college.
Also the college could pay students for lunch money as well as travel money but again because of low budgets the college can only afford travel money. Basically the college need a lot to improve on. Having a small budget as affected the college member’s decision making and they are not able to do much for students and this has caused problems for many students especially those who simply can’t afford to attend college. The college could be re considering their decisions and ensuring they think about what is best for the students. This can impact marketing planning in good and bad ways if students tell examiners what they think about the college so it all depends on what the students think.
He is unhappy with the college system of today. He chooses to hold his students to the standards to which he teaches. He believes that for some colleges, getting people to return to school is just a gimmick. “Adult education, nontraditional education, education for returning students- whatever you want to call it is a substantial profit center for many colleges.”(Prof X 4) He believes that many people choose to return to college because they can get money for school and the cost of
College scholarships are often tied up to grades, and students that fail to maintain a good GPA can lose scholarship money and even financial aid. Some states offer free or discounted tuition to students who maintain reasonably high grades. Although financial aid will allow students a grace period of a semester to bring up their grades, a lower grade can trigger financial issues and leave students scrambling for money to cover tuition. The most important effect of getting a bad GPA is the difficulty to get a job fresh-out of college. Nowadays, most employers that recruit recent graduates require a minimum GPA, especially if you are applying for technical openings.
