Students guided on the trek to receive scholarships

January 29, 2020 by Francesca Guidote 151 Comments

Financial Aid Advisor, Andrea Cowser, of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships presented the online process for scholarship applications at CSUSB on January 16, 2020. Before applying for the scholarships, Cowser noted that in order to be considered for CSUSB scholarships, a completion of the FAFSA for the academic year of 2020-2021 will need to be filled out already. “We highly recommend that you actually file the 2020-2021 FAFSA application. So many of our CSUSB scholarships are need-based, so we do require student applicants to complete a FAFSA application,” she clarified. She also reminded attendees that "for incoming freshmen or transfer students, they will also need … [Read more...] about Students guided on the trek to receive scholarships

Students, Administrators, and Legislators Rally to Fix Financial Aid

February 27, 2019 by Dusty Alexander 260 Comments

The rise of housing costs for students of CSUSB is one of the factors leading to a higher rate of homelessness for students here, commented Madeline Zhuo, an employee at a food pantry, in response to the topics raised by the rally in Sacramento. On Feb. 20 student leaders, college executives, and legislators rallied at the state capital for financial aid reform to combat food insecurity, lack of shelter, and wellbeing issues that plague California college students. Mia Kagianas, president of the Cal State Student Association, struck at the heart of the issue during her opening remarks. “Our state and our nation are experiencing a higher education renaissance,” Kagianas said. “Issues … [Read more...] about Students, Administrators, and Legislators Rally to Fix Financial Aid

Pursuing Higher Degree Education

March 7, 2016 by Steffanie Martinez 13 Comments

By Steffanie Martinez |Staff Writer| Tough choices have to be made after obtaining your college degree—a huge one in particular: choosing between attending graduate school or going straight into the workforce. This is not always the easiest decision to make, as there are many factors to take into consideration. Graduate school is not an extension of your college life—there are big differences. “From studying to socializing, you’re entering a new world. But if you choose to go to grad school to study something you’re passionate about, you’ll likely find it much more rewarding than college," stated Dr. Melissa Boone Brown of Columbia University. Speaking to recent grad school … [Read more...] about Pursuing Higher Degree Education

Summer school provides students advantages

April 24, 2015 by Archived posts 8 Comments

By Davon Dean |Staff Writer| When it comes to attending summer school, most students are hesitant to sign up for classes due to how much it costs.   In my opinion, I think it is very important for each student to explore and understand what he or she is paying to get through college.   I believe students should not have to dwell on the price of college, but on the outcome and how it will benefit them in the future.   Student Alicia Garcia pointed out how expensive it is to attend summer courses. “Not only are we paying $220 per unit, we also have to pay an additional $225 for mandatory campus fees; [and] I don’t even know what are mandatory campus fees,” said … [Read more...] about Summer school provides students advantages

College education is worth debt

February 27, 2015 by Archived posts 158 Comments

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| The benefits of attending college far outweigh the debt that is accrued when we consider the opportunities and knowledge we gain. Statistics show that college graduates are financially more successful than those without a degree. When I asked fellow college students why they are pursuing a degree, I got a variety of responses. Some said it was just to land a job, and others said it was to better their life altogether, whether financially or intellectually. CSUSB graduate Genna West said she originally pursued higher education to make more money, but found purpose in her career that during her time at CSUSB. Some say that “knowledge is … [Read more...] about College education is worth debt

Sugar isn’t always so sweet

February 7, 2015 by Archived posts 10 Comments

Money fanned out.

By Erica Wong |Foreign Correspondent| As online dating gained popularity in recent years, some people have begun to exploit their services for reasons other than just finding their significant other. Last spring, we covered the growing ‘mutually beneficial arrangement’ dating industry with the ‘sugar’ dating site Seeking Arrangements (SA) and interviewed student Annabelle (her pseudonym) about her life as a sugar baby. Annabelle has had three sugar daddies in the past year. While she’s still in school and trying to stay on top of her bills, her current sugar daddy now provides her $1500 per visit. As SA’s popularity has grown, now with over 3.6 million members, other dating sites … [Read more...] about Sugar isn’t always so sweet

Students blasé over fees

January 24, 2015 by Archived posts 4 Comments

By Mackenzie Viera |Staff Writer| Coyotes in their junior or senior year seem to lack interest in the mandatory campus fees for the services they may or may not use. CSUSB falls into sixth place of the cheapest colleges in California with an average tuition cost at $18,040, according to collegecalc.org. However, after briefly interviewing students on the cost of attending CSUSB, many were not aware of what exactly they are paying for. Let’s do the math. According to csusb.edu, the tuition fee per quarter is $1,824. Below the total tuition, students seem to overlook the small print that states “mandatory campus charges.” Multiply that amount by three quarters and you have … [Read more...] about Students blasé over fees

Tuition outruns financial aid

November 15, 2014 by Archived posts 188 Comments

By Marlyn Rodriguez |Asst. Managing Editor| Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) reported that inflation has caused an increase in tuition.

Financial aid website review

May 24, 2014 by Archived posts 802 Comments

By Emmanuel Gutierrez |Staff Writer| The CSUSB financial aid website is too simple for its own good and potentially serves as a barrier to receive department guidance. The cost of attending higher education continues to increase. Receiving financial aid is becoming more and more crucial. “The website was kind of helpful, but calling the office and talking to someone was easier,” said CSUSB student Christen Jennings. “Put more info on the website so I won’t have to spend extra time on hold,” added Jennings. The information provided on the CSUSB financial aid website is thorough in covering topics such as applying for aid, Dream Act information, and links to student … [Read more...] about Financial aid website review

Sugar

May 10, 2014 by Archived posts 849 Comments

By Erica Wong |Staff Writer| Dating sites are used to satisfy all sorts of kinky and romantic pursuits. But what about trading time for money? Higher unemployment rates and lower starting salaries are making some college students and recent graduates increasingly desperate.  So much so, that many are resorting to selling themselves to relieve their debt in this failing economy. “I made an account on Seeking Arrangements because I was two months behind on rent and up to my eyeballs in credit card debt. My two jobs just weren't enough,” said Anabelle, CSUSB student. Seeking Arrangements (SA), is a dating website for sugar daddies and sugar babies. Brandon Wade, the sites … [Read more...] about Sugar
