The Path to Success at Kent State | Video Transcript
- [Narrator] The path to earning a degree looks different for each of our students at Kent State University. Our priority is to support our students throughout that journey.
Along the path, we have identified four key areas where financial support can impact their experience and increase their chances of graduating.
We believe a Kent State education should be available to all students, regardless of their financial situation.
We are committed to providing scholarships and support to help our students succeed in college.
