Abstract
Purpose
- The purpose of this research is to explore the rate of financial college readiness amongst New York CIty Public High School Students.
Design/methodology/approach
- The research methodologies employed in this paper consist of interviews and internet research.
Findings
- Scholarships, if that, are the only resources that NYC public high school counselors relay to students in terms of financing their education. Students are not given supplementary resources in the event that scholarships do not cover the entire costs of tuition.
Practical implications
- I believe this is a direct correlation to the student debt crisis. Had students been provided additional financial resources to fund their education, less student loans would be needed.
