With total student debt in this country totaling over $440 billion, and the average student today graduating with debt almost three and a half times that of graduates a decade ago, this campaign is giving students and recent graduates the opportunity to highlight the crisis in student aid and at the same time, turn their debt into cash, $2,500 specifically.
The contest is open to current students, undergraduate or graduate, and former students with at least $2,500 in outstanding educational debt. Those interested are to write and place an essay, reported article, opinion piece or multimedia work on the topic of college affordability in a college, local or national publication [print or web]. The requirement for publication is aimed at encouraging more public dialogue on this issue, read a press release published by the Campaign for College Affordability.
