Several Adrian students volunteer at Boys & Girls Club of Lenawee. When Toby Ernst graduated in 2003, he took it to the next level by starting his career there. Toby, who majored in health, physical education and recreation, is program director at the club. “I try to be a role model,” Toby said. “I like giving back, especially to kids who don’t have as much.”

-Melissa Murray, recent graduate and advertising account coordinator

Private Education Can Be Affordable WAcademic scholarships are renewable annually and range from $28,000 to $92,000 over four years.

WCollege is an investment. It costs a lot, but the payoffs are great. In addition to higher salary opportunities, you’ll have memories, experiences and friendships that will be with you forever—the things you can’t put a price on! Adrian can be a surprisingly affordable investment.

WAt Adrian College, the overwhelming majority of students graduate in four years.

WContrary to what most people think, your out-ofpocket yearly cost at Adrian may be similar to the costs at some public institutions. The “expected family contribution” is a federal term based on income and assets, not college cost. Financial aid packages are designed to help make up the difference.
