As college application season approaches, many seniors contemplate where to go after high school or what their major might be, others solely worry about the burdensome cost of college. Especially with the national student loan debt at around 1.73 trillion dollars, there is a lot to be worried about.
Wait! Before you go on and panic, we are here to tell you that Club Inventavation at Westmont has answers for everyone. Whether your worries are about the financial aspect of college or the admissions process itself, Inventavation’s new podcast series has answers for you. The podcast, Inventing the Future, not only covers the college admissions process, but also entertains you while touching on the topic of the complex and nearing future of adulthood. All the struggles, successes, and tips, it’s all right here: anchor.fm/inventavation-tech. Inventavation will be hosting a college admissions series in our podcast with guest speakers from prestigious universities, college admissions professionals, and other organizations that support higher education.
Inventavation’s latest partnership is with Juno, a company started by a group of millennial students who were admitted to Harvard and realized their new reality of drowning in student debt. When founders Nikhil Agarwal and Chris Abkarians were able to negotiate lower student loans for 700 of their classmates, they realized their new ability to make this benefit available to future generations pursuing higher education.
Team Juno has also created a fantastic resource for those looking to access scholarships. While most scholarship sites are littered with broken links and prove confusing to navigate, Juno’s scholarship page includes hundreds of easy-to-apply scholarships and resources to aid students just like you!
The best part: services are free! Juno has a no-commitment policy and, by signing up with the link below, students have the ability to make their higher education more affordable! https://joinjuno.com/p/Inventavation.
