Helping Non-Traditional Students Succeed (2015)

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Helping Non-Traditional Students Succeed (2015)
Published: October 4, 2015 by VPR Producer

A college education is usually a ticket to a better job, better health and overall life satisfaction – that is if you can get one. Non-traditional students — those who are older, who work full-time or who have families – can have a tough time just figuring out how to apply to college, talk to a professor or find scholarships or financial aid. Our guest discusses the hurdles non-traditional students have to clear and what schools and communities can do to make their transition into higher education easier.
