Although Tri-C offers the lowest tuition in Northeast Ohio, many students still need assistance to achieve their academic and career goals due to financial obstacles. For example:
• Over 50% of all Tri-C students work one or more jobs while attending classes. Since they are earning income, many of these students are not eligible for state and federal financial assistance. Often, these students are adult learners who are also raising families, making it even more difficult to pay for tuition and related educational expenses.
• Approximately 58% of Tri-C students are the first generation in their families to attend college. The costs of tuition and related educational expenses often are prohibitive for these students.
• State and federal financial support for higher education has declined significantly.
Supporting scholarships at Tri-C is an effective way to invest in the local community. More than 85% of Tri-C students continue to live in Northeast Ohio, enriching the region with their training and talents—a formula for successful economic recovery and development in our region.
