The cost of higher education rises every year, and the privations of the pandemic are making it even more difficult for some families to send their children to college.
Thatâs one reason schools like Pikes Peak Community College, UCCS and Colorado College have taken steps to help more students defray their costs, offering both financial aid and special programs.
A new partnership with educational technology company Slingshot will enable Pikes Peak Community College to offer free required textbooks to all students this fall.
âWe are systematically taking away every barrier to education,â PPCC President Lance Bolton said. âWe have 10 times more financial aid than ever before, we have more advisers, tutors and success coaches to help students succeed, and now we have free textbooks, so students can actually be ready to hit the ground running when classes start.â
