$3.75 Billion - Went Unclaimed in Pell Grant in 2021!
Hard to believe February is already here -a month of love and the super bowl!
January gave some good news to the higher education sector along with one particular continued opportunity.
Freshman Enrollment on Recovery
According to the latest numbers released by NSCRC (National Student Clearinghouse), freshman enrollment was up in fall 2022!
Freshman enrollment increased by 4.3 percent. Even though there is still a gap to be filled to get to pre-pandemic levels, this is a much-needed sigh of relief for Higher Ed institutions. There is still uncertainty about the persistence of this trend, so much work has to continue.
