Cost as a Barrier

One of the most significant barriers to entry for post-secondary education programs, especially universities and colleges, is the cost of enrollment. Cost is a huge barrier that prevents people from attending any sort of education beyond high school. Low-income families have difficulty sending their children to four-year educational institutions without aid. Financial aid can create huge debt for low-income students. This debt is something they’re likely to struggle with for decades after their graduation, impacting their chance at a successful financial future for themselves and their families. Scholarships allow more students from low-income families to enter a higher education institution by providing the help they need to afford their post-secondary education.

Divided Attention

Students often work while they’re studying, especially if their family is unable to support their everyday financial needs, such as housing, food, fuel, and other daily bills. Working while studying has been shown to hurt the results most students receive. The need to work divides students’ attention and may cause them to perform poorly in classes they would have otherwise succeeded in. A scholarship can often be applied to everyday expenses, including textbooks and rent or meals. If students can avoid working while they’re studying, they’ll be able to give their full attention to their education and are more likely to perform well.

Graduation and Completion

Cost and stress or poor performance associated with dividing attention between education and working can influence graduation and completion rates for post-secondary education. Students often cannot continue due to financial reasons, putting them in a tricky spot, especially when student loans become eligible for repayment. Failing to graduate from your program or complete your education can still be an improvement over having no post-secondary education. Still, it will have a significant impact on prospects. Scholarships can help to improve graduation and completion rates by reducing the financial burden placed on each student.

Financial Well-Being

After post-secondary education is finished, finances are tricky for most graduates. Because of the need to repay student loans soon after graduation, students must look to integrate into the workforce immediately and bear a significant financial burden for many years. This is going to change the course of their career and give them less flexibility to grow and move forward financially. Unlike grants and loans, scholarships don’t need to be paid back. Students who receive scholarships don’t need to stress how they’ll begin to repay them. They’re free to focus on forming their career and starting their working life on the right foot.

Scott Cooper Miami Scholarship Awards

Scholarships are an essential tool to empower students enrolled in post-secondary education programs. They can change lives and help to make dreams into realities for many students. Scott Cooper Miami supports students everywhere trying to fulfill their dreams and create their ideal futures. The 2018 recipients of the Scott Cooper Miami scholarship fund have been released, empowered to continue receiving their education and reaching for excellence in their fields.
