Helping Haiti
Across the nation, colleges and universities are reaching out to the victims of Haiti's earthquake in ways as diverse as their various missions. We are posting news stories summarizing those efforts on this Web site. If you want to help with cash or in-kind donations, we suggest you visit the USAID Help for Haiti Web site.

Private colleges a better deal than you think
November 20, 2009
A private college might cost more per year, but if you have small classes with attention from professors who will nurture you, that college may offer better value than a lower-priced public school. Private colleges can also be cheaper than you think. In New Jersey, Drew University and Rider University offer merit scholarships that can make those schools a bargain, and at Rider, a student with a 3.0 GPA and SAT score of 1000 (critical reading and math) would be eligible for an $8,000 renewable scholarship, worth $32,000 over four years.
