Though almost all Hostos students receive federal and state financial aid to cover or lower their tuition bill, the actual cost of college is much more than just tuition. The average Hostos student comes from a household earning less than $30,000 annually, and must find ways to afford housing, food, childcare, transporation and more. These basic needs, even by conservative estimates, can exhaust a student's resources. A degree from Hostos puts students on the path to socioeconomic mobility, but for students with little savings and limited time to work, affording basic needs can derail their academic goals. That's where scholarship support comes in.
