Many students have heard that college is expensive, and this often creates a sense of anxiety about their future. While many are aware of athletic and academic scholarships, there is a prevailing belief that financial constraints will prevent them from attending college if they do not secure these opportunities. This concern can overshadow their aspirations, making them feel as though a lack of funds is a barrier to achieving their educational goals.

To combat this mindset, it's important for students to explore all available financial aid options, including grants, work-study programs, and student loans. Additionally, many colleges offer payment plans and financial counseling to help students manage their expenses effectively. By understanding the various resources available, students can gain confidence and take proactive steps toward their college education, regardless of their financial situation. 

We strongly encourage students to check their email daily, as important information is often communicated through this channel. Missing these messages can lead to missed opportunities, such as updates on class schedules, deadlines for applications and/or scholarships, or announcements about events. Staying on top of emails ensures that students remain informed and can take advantage of all the resources and opportunities available to them. Regularly checking email also fosters good communication habits, which are essential for success in college and beyond.
