Abstract

This news item from 'Scopes is about: As director of student financial planning, Kristin Pennock sees firsthand how students struggle with the cost of pursuing their passion. From the beginning, she watches them wrestle with whether or not they can afford to matriculate at Cornell, all the way through to the moment they graduate, when they must face the reality of repaying their debt. During the intervening four years, Pennock works to match students with scholarships big and small so that every student in need receives at least some form of financial support.
