Drum roll please! We have made it to the last of the Five Fabulous Questions to Ask a College. And this one is a doozy! Yep, you probably guessed that it has to do with MONEY!
Fabulous Question 5: How do you award scholarships and financial aid?
If you have been reading along thus far, you may have an idea how I am going to answer this question. The answer is…INDIVIDUALLY!
What I mean by this is that EVERY student meets with and consults a Harrison College Financial Aid Analyst not just when they first enroll, but throughout their time as a student. It is important that students understand their funding.
As an Indiana accredited college, Harrison College participates in forms of college tuition assistance. Federal grants, student loans, Indiana scholarships and grants are the ones most people think of when they hear the words financial aid, but there are many types of financial aid. Harrison College also participates in the following scholarship programs:
- Imagine America
- Imagine America Military Award Program
- Charles Cring Adult Learner Award
- President’s Scholarship
- Bailey Family Foundation’s College Scholarship
- CNT Design Scholarship
Students attending a Columbus Indiana college who are seeking a degree in the medical field OR students who have completed their GED may also apply for the One Step at a Time Scholarship in memory of Harrison College faculty member, Carole Bonnell.
It is important to understand two things when it comes to financial aid:
- There are so many ways to fund your future.
- Every student is different, so meeting with a financial aid analyst one-on-one is a huge bonus for Harrison College students.
All this talk about financial aid has me thinking about Harrison College's Tuition Freeze program. Check out more information about the Tuition Feeze Program on our website.
