This past Wednesday, August 20th, our Hospitality and Management class had a special guest speaker. Stephanie Harkey is a College Funding Advisor that helps students plan to pay for college! She taught us different college costs, financial aid equation, different types of financial aid (grants, scholarships, work-study, loans), and application processes (FASFA, GPA Verification Form, CSS/Financial Aid profile). Did you know that the unemployment rate for a Bachelors degree is only 4.5% compared to just a High School diploma unemployment rate of 8.3%? Or a weekly income for a Doctoral degree is minimum $1,524? Stephanie provided us fun facts that proved how important getting an education is. Paying for an education is an issue for most students, but Stephanie was able to provide us outstanding information that can help our students when it comes to paying tuition.
Thank you Stephanie!
