How America Completes College: A Report
A recent Sallie Mae report finds that 40% of students decide to leave college because of a change in motivation, focus, or life change, 19% due to financial reasons and 14% for mental health reasons.
The 40-page report summarizes the findings of research conducted in February 2022 that “explores the factors and considerations that impact a student’s journey from accessing higher education to completing their degree or program of study… The research compares higher education motivations and perceptions of [those who complete college vs. those who start but don’t earn a degree] as well as their high school and college support systems and post-college success.”
