Posted by in Uncategorized Mar 6th, 2005

From Business Wire, this item of note that could be of use to those contemplating distance education or any students wanting to find out more about financial aid issues.

The U.S. Department of Education estimates that more than two million students enroll in at least one distance education course each year. Although the convenience of earning a degree online can be appealing to many students, distance education may not be a smart choice for everyone.

To help students understand more about on-line college degrees and/or distance education programs, Mapping Your Future (http://mapping-your-future.org), a public-service Web site co-sponsored by TG and other student loan guarantors, will offer an "On-Line and Distance Education chat" on March 8, 2005. The live event, scheduled for 2-3 p.m. (CST), provides an opportunity for families and students to receive guidance on distance education and financial aid from financial aid and career experts.
