College costs
From the office of Indiana Senator David Long:
State survey data reveals about 70 percent of Indiana's would-be first generation college students don't think they can afford post-secondary education. We want those students to know college is possible for all Hoosiers, and encourage them to take advantage of the resources and assistance available to them.
There are several helpful websites:
IndianaCollegeCosts.org - This free service provides Hoosier families with consistent and accurate estimates of college costs across all Indiana campuses, both public and private. The site features side-by-side comparisons of college costs, expected family contribution estimates, "Ask the Expert" sessions and more.
CashforCollegeIndiana.org - Updated annually in the lead-up to Indiana's March 10 financial aid deadline, Cash for College works to equip students and families with the practical steps needed to plan and pay for college. The campaign supports local students and communities with a variety of helpful resources, including grade-specific goals, student contests and special events. Indiana's Cash for College Campaign is made possible by Learn More Indiana, a partnership of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the Indiana Department of Education, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana. Additional support is provided by Indiana's colleges and universities, the Lumina Foundation for Education, USA Funds and the U.S. Department of Education.
LearnMoreIndiana.org - Indiana's one-stop-shop for helping Hoosiers plan and pay for college is available online at this website. It features specific goals for all students, promotional materials, details on special contests and events, links to a variety of online resources and more. Updates on Learn More Indiana are also available on Facebook and Twitter.

Ductigami!
We had a lot of fun yesterday making creations out of duct tape! Many followed patterns to create wallets, but several branched out on their own to make unique designs. Check them out!
