Choosing a College

Selecting a College that works for you

Daniels Scholars Gather for the Scholars Heading Into the Future Together program in June 2010

College Choice
Whether or not you receive a Daniels Scholarship your final college choice should be thoughtfully considered by you and your parent/adult supporters. Here are just a few areas you should think about as you make your final decision.

Academics

• Does the school offer the major you are most interested in studying?
• Does the school offer 1 or 2 alternative majors that interest you in case you change your major?
• What type of academic and career advising does the school provide?
• Do you know the difference between the core/general education requirements and the requirements for your major in order to graduate?
   

Affordability

• Does the school’s financial aid award offer sufficient financial support?
• Would you be able to attend and afford this school if you were not ultimately selected as a Daniels Scholar?

General

• Is the school located in an area that provides access to various types of public transportation?
• Does the campus and surrounding community offer sufficient employment opportunities for students?
• Does the campus or surrounding community have some of the organizations or establishments (such as your church denomination) that may help ensure your success?
• Does the campus offer housing options during holiday breaks or summer vacation?
• Does the school offer health insurance?
