Kentucky attorney Sanders says it is NOT too late to find space in 240 colleges and universities around the US for current high school seniors.

At least 240 colleges and universities around the US still have space available for qualified freshman and/or transfer students and nearly all have financial aid to offer, according to the results of the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s annual Space Availability Survey: Openings for Qualified Students. This is important for all the student, who are late in applying to college.

The survey queries NACAC member four-year colleges and universities on the availability of space, institutional financial aid and housing as of May 1, 2010. Now in its 23rd year, the survey is designed as a tool for counselors, parents and teachers as they assist students who have not yet completed the college admission process.

 Twenty-three percent of the respondents are public colleges and 77 percent are private colleges. Ninety-three percent have housing space.

 Survey results are available and may be viewed online. A fact sheet is also available for a more detailed look at the results. Survey results will remain posted throughout the summer, and colleges will be asked to update their listings as the number of openings at their institutions changes.

We started planning two years ahead for our kids for visiting and applying for a college.  We also started saving for college many years before that.  It is a time consuming and highly expensive process, but it is a worthwhile investment in the future of our  great country. God Bless Duke University.
