Too often parents and students assume that a private education is financially out of reach. The truth is, many opportunities exist to make an education of excellence possible. Here’s a story about how one student overcame her initial sticker shock. In her own words…

I contemplated my college choices for a long time and waited until the last minute to decide. I had visited Northern only once. Although I loved its intimate setting and incredibly loyal students, I thought it was a private, pricey school and that there was no way I could afford tuition. But during my visit, I met with a financial aid counselor, and after I decided to apply, I heard back from Northern and learned I had been offered a hefty scholarship and a great financial aid package. It was then that I realized that Northern wasn’t out of reach.

I compared schools for the next few months. Finally, I chose Northern, knowing that I’d be in a safe and respected setting. I don’t plan on throwing away my money. I’ve worked hard to reach this point, and I’m willing to work even harder to excel at my career.
