Found a great link this week!
www.securityoncampus.org
You can type in the name of a college and it will do a search for that school. Then click on the college you want and you can get all kinds of crime statistics for that school---everything from burglary and rape to hate crimes. Also if you check at the bottom of the page for the school you are checking, you can click on the NCES IPEDS COOL button. This is the National Center for Education Statistics in the US Dept of Education and is the College Opportunities On-Line site. This will give you the current information on cost of attending that school. This should make comparing college costs much easier than going through the on line website for each school. If you find schools you are interested in attending, you ought to go to their wegsite to get more info, but this should make comparing colleges a good bit easier. It will also be nice to check on the crime rates for each school.
Be sure to come by our website for more information on getting your homeschooled child into college! www.homeschool2college.com
Have a great day!

Well, I haven't added anything in a long time. I've been busy getting my website redone and working on a presentation that I will be doing at some homeschool bookfairs this summer.
Seniors should be waiting to hear the results of scholarship applications! Usually late April and early May are pretty exciting times!
If you are a Junior, it would be good to begin looking for scholarships for next year---if you find some applications, check over the form and see what types of information you will need to supply next year.
There are a series of articles in the most recent US News and World Report about the costs of a college education. The price continues to go up every year. In fact, the article indicated that costs have risen 38% in the last 10 years; however, during that same time, median family income has only increased by 10%. It is getting more difficult to afford college every year. Scholarships and financial aid are the only way many people can afford the education. These are the areas that I can help homeschoolers! Come visit my new, improved website at www.homeschool2college.com
