• A college graduate can afford to buy a large, flat-screen TV in one

to two months while a non-college graduate might have to work for
three to four months to buy the same TV.
• It’s estimated that by 2014, 90 percent of the fastest-growing
careers will require some postsecondary education.
• A college degree increases your chance of employment by nearly 50
percent. A two-year degree or even some college can have a positive
impact on your ability to find and keep a job. The higher your educa-
tion level, the higher your chances of finding and keeping a job.
• Jobs for college graduates typically offer more and better benefits
than jobs requiring just a high school diploma. Benefits include
health insurance and retirement plans you may not get at
lower-skill jobs.

 How should I
prepare for College?

 You Are College Material
At some time or another, many students have doubts that they are
college material. Believing in yourself is the most important step to
success. Millions just like you have said “I’m going.” You can, too.

Low GPAs and Test Scores? Keep

Moving Forward
A common myth is that only people with excellent high school grades
and SAT or ACT scores can go to college. It’s just not true.
• Different colleges have different admissions standards; if you don’t
get into one, keep looking.
• You can take the standardized tests over again to improve your
scores. Because, only your highest score is reported to the colleges
you’re interested in.
• Several schools have open admissions policies. Two-year schools are
a great opportunity to get a start on your college experience.
• Special consideration is often given to students that are educa-
tionally or geographically disadvantaged, ethnic minorities or that
exhibit extraordinary talents or skills.
Good grades and good test scores can definitely help, but low grades
and low test scores aren’t necessarily deal-breakers. Not at all.

New People, Places, Ideas

College is about more than training for a career. It’s also about discov-
ering yourself and learning to think and live independently. A lot of
that occurs outside the classroom. The new people you meet, the new
environments you visit, the new ideas you find – this is the stuff that
helps you learn more about life. College isn’t just lessons from books;
it’s about life lessons.

Millions just like you

have said “I’m going.”
You can, too.

Test preparation The ACT and SAT examinations may
play a role in whether you are accepted into your
preferred school, or earn a scholarship. Many schools
use test results to place you in the appropriate courses
when you enroll. Other tests such as Advanced Place-
ment (AP) also permit students to receive college credit
while in high school. UtahFutures.org provides free test
preparation services for the ACT, SAT, AP, and other col-
lege preparatory exams.
Assessments are valuable tools for helping you iden-
tify individual interests, strengths, and opportunities.
UtahFutures.org can direct you to potential career and
educational areas that match well with your results.
Majors and Degrees Do you know what you want to
study in college? Utah colleges and universities offer
a wide selection of majors. An up-to-date listing of

and hundreds of other scholarships!

Grants
Grants are awarded to students based on financial
need. Like scholarships, grants don’t have to be paid
back. The U.S. Department of Education uses the in-
formation reported in the FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid) to determine your eligibility. Talk
to your high school counselor or contact the financial
aid office of one of the state’s universities or colleges
for more information. Here are some examples of
available grants:
The federal Pell Grant provides a foundation of
financial assistance to which other kinds of aid can
be added. This award is only available to undergradu-
ate students.
The Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) is available
to first and second year college students, who have
completed a college preparatory curriculum while in
high school, maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

41

To receive the Science and Mathematics Access to Re-
tain Talent Grant (SMART), recipient must also maintain
a 3.0 cumulative GPA, in addition to being Pell Grant
eligible. The award is limited to third and fourth year
college students. For eligibility questions please contact
the financial aid office at the college you are attending.
Work Study
Work study allows eligible students to earn money
through a part-time job. The financial aid or student
employment office at your college can help you find a
work study job.
43
Loans
Loans are a form of financial aid that must be repaid.
Like a car loan from a bank, student loans have interest.
The interest rates on federal student loans are gener-
ally low. When considering a loan, you need to read the
terms of the agreement carefully. Be wise about the
amount of money you borrow. Higher education is one
of the best investments you can make throughout your
lifetime, but be realistic about the amount of money you
need for school. Types of loans include:
Stafford loans are variable and fixed interest loans. In
some cases, the interest is not applied until six months
after you leave school. This type of loan is called a Sub-
sidized Stafford Loan. In other cases, the interest begins
to accrue immediately. This type of loan is referred to as
an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
 Perkins loan is a low-interest, subsidized loan available
to students with exceptional financial need. Both under-
graduate and graduate students are eligible.
Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loans
are available to parents with good credit histories.
These loans are for education expenses for dependent
children enrolled at least half time in an eligible pro-
gram at an eligible school.
Your best resource to find out more about student loans
and other money for college is the Utah Higher Educa-
tion Assistance Authority (UHEAA) at 801-321-7294, 877-
336-7378, or visit www.uheaa.org. UHEAA has been ar-
ranging loans for education for over 25 years. A UHEAA
representative will review your options with you.
Additional Financial Aid Resources for Students
Interested in Attending College Outside of Utah
The Western Undergraduate Exchange, WUE, is a pro-
gram in which students may enroll in designated two-
year and four-year institutions and programs in other
participating western states. It allows qualified students
to attend at a reduced tuition. A list of the participating
institutions and programs can be found at
www.wiche.edu/sep/wue.

Higher education is one of the

best investments you can make
throughout your lifetime, but be
realistic about the amount of
money you need for school.

 Almost There

Do not hesitate to reach out to recruitment, admis-
sions, financial aid staff–these professionals are here to
guide you through this process. They are eager to help

decision on college.
