College Cost Project

COLLEGE COST PROJECT

The College Cost Project will be due in ALL CLASSES ( Math and Pre-Algebra) on MONDAY MAY 11th.

Students have been working on their cost projection worksheets and posters in class. The College Cost Project is a great way for students to see how much college will cost. On average college increases about 5% each year, this can be a scary number but I also take this time to explain different options such as scholarships, in state schools as well as financial aide.

This is a great conversation starter for your family. Ask your child what college they picked out and why? The answers may surprise you!
