Back to School?

Posted on July 26, 2009 by Daryl Phillips, CEcD

Though it may be a little late to start planning where to go to college next semester, it is never to late for planning to meet your higher education goals. Inspired by the “Education Life” section in the paper this morning, I just wanted to remind those interested in post-secondary education about the Hickman County Higher Education website, http://www.highereducation.hickmantn.org/ . It contains links to colleges, universities, distance learning, and vocational technology schools as well as how to survive the new demands of returning to learning and how to find financial aid to fund it.
