Two More Reasons Why Grinnell College Is Awesome!

From a couple recent media pieces...

Grinnell College is seeing a 52% increase in applications for the Class of 2016, twice the improvement as any other school on this list, published by The New York Times Blog.  And more than U of Chicago, Claremont-McKenna, Northwestern, Tufts, and Yale combined!

Also a USA Today story on the success of liberal-arts educated graduates over the rest of college graduates:
(The study) found that students who had mastered the ability to think critically, reason analytically and write effectively by their senior year were:

•Three times less likely to be unemployed than those who hadn't (3.1% vs. 9.6%).

•Half as likely to be living with their parents (18% vs. 35%).

•Far less likely to have amassed credit card debt (37% vs. 51%).

College Is Cheaper Than You Think!

From The New York Times Economix Blog:

"What has been buried in much of the resulting coverage is that while colleges’ published tuition and fees have indeed increased, these so-called “sticker prices” are not all that informative. For the average full-time student, net tuition – which subtracts grants and tax-based aid – is less than half of the published price at private nonprofit four-year schools."

Grinnell College prides itself on its promise to meet 100% of demonstrated financial aid combined with a yearly loan cap of $2,250, which means that most of the financial aid awarded comes from scholarships and grants and is not required to be paid back by the student!

Yahoo! Finance listed Grinnell as one of the top 10 value colleges in the country noting the College's average grants/scholarships package is $30,577!
