2014 Scholarship Guide

By Shekinah Harper

Returning to college as a non-traditional student is not seen as a futile endeavor, but rather, an investment.

This fall, traditional college-age students will be joined by 8.7 million students age 25 and older. Statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics show that the 42 percent increase from non-traditional enrollment is greater than the 34 percent growth from traditional students.

The increase in enrollment is a reaction to the economic reality that by 2025, employers will require more than 23 million degree holders than the nation’s colleges and universities will have produced at the current rate. Demand exceeding supply.

So, in order to help meet this demand, Atlanta Tribune: The Magazine presents its Annual Scholarship Guide that includes scholarships, internships and fellowships. If you are looking to continue your education, or start fresh this is a good place to start – and rise to the demands of the occasion.
