College can seem expensive, but the fact is, it’s far more costly not to get a college degree. According to the College Board publication “Trends in College Pricing 2006”:

  • The average return on investment for a bachelor’s degree is 20 times the cost of that education
  • Over a lifetime, typical college grads out earn high school grads by $1 million or more 
  • Advanced degrees can double and triple that figure

The fact of the matter is, college is not a cost — it's a worthy investment. Education offers unlimited potential for great personal and financial returns. Simply put, education has the power to transform lives.
