🎓 Attention Seniors!
College Award Letters are arriving! Before making any decisions, it’s super important to understand each school’s Cost of Attendance (COA). This includes tuition, fees, housing, meals, and more, everything that affects your total college expenses.
💡 Tip: Compare COAs against awards letters & consider any out-of-pocket costs and your budget. Making an informed choice now will save you stress later!
