In the past year, there has been much discussion about the cost of college. With the tightening of federal budgets, the debate has turned to making changes to our federal student financial aid system.
The National Urban League is developing recommendations to improve the student financial aid system, through the Reimagining Aid Design and Delivery (RADD) project. A critical piece of this project is is understanding the student financial aid experiences of individuals in the 17-40 age range. To that end, we ask that you take our 15-20 minute survey and share it widely.
The purpose of the RADD project is to think of ways to make college more affordable while providing students the supports necessary to earn a meaningful degree or credential. The National Urban League is committed to ensuring that all students have access higher education and that current students have the support they need to complete their studies and attain a meaningful degree or credential.
Please take our survey here: http://bit.ly/NUL-RADD (During the survey you will be asked specific questions about your 1-, 2- or 4-year degree financial aid package. It would be helpful for you to know this information before you begin your survey.)
We appreciate your participation and want to ensure that federal student financial aid continues to meet the needs of students and professionals. Please consider forwarding this information and sharing our survey with:
- Colleagues
- Members of other organizations
- Other Young Professional Groups
- Your Alma Mater/local university (ask to post the survey on their listserv)
- Your Alumni Association
- Community Groups
- Local Listservs
- Leaders of local churches/religious organizations
- Family and Friends
- Social Media
