Earlier this year I joined the board of the Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, and have been impressed with the leadership role the organization has taken in regards to access to higher education. This will be a great panel of chancellors moderated by Kim Clark, who is with U.S. News and World report, one of America's key sources for college information.
CRISIS IN STUDENT FINANCIAL NEED
A college education is more essential than ever — and more expensive than ever. Yet there is not enough financial aid available for qualified students who need help covering the costs. What are area colleges doing about it?
Seeking solutions to this crucial problem, the Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis is presenting a special session with the chief executives of several of our region’s top institutions of higher education.
On Sunday, November 1, chancellors Mark Wrighton of Washington University in St. Louis, Brady Deaton of the University of Missouri-Columbia, Elizabeth Stroble of Webster University and Zelema Harris of the St. Louis Community College system will discuss how their schools are dealing with the issue. Kim Clark, a senior writer for U.S. News & World Report and specialist on the issue of higher education finance, is the moderator.
The event begins at 2 p.m. in the theater auditorium at COCA ( Center of Creative Arts ),
524 Trinity Ave., in the Delmar Loop district in University City . Doors open at 1:30.
Admission is free, but space is limited. Call the Scholarship Foundation at (314) 725-7990 to reserve your seat or e-mail rsvpNovember1@sfstl.org to request a reservation.
