***While the Eagle Blog trys to keep with just being a blog based around the Eagle but seperate from the Eagle, sometimes the Eagle Blog must admit it is owned by the Eagle. With that said, Tony Romm, the Eagle’s Editorial Page Editor has the following for y’all***
You’re an AU student, or perhaps you’re soon to be, so you probably know something about debt. More than likely, you’ve also worked with the Financial Aid office, maybe even to little effect.
For my final project in Writing in Convergent Media (in conjunction with The Eagle), I’m organizing a crowdsourcing investigation of student financial literacy at AU. Basically, I’m asking students to answer 23 questions about their experience with the Fin Aid office, their knowledge of debt and loans, and their concern for their financial future. The survey takes about 5 mins to complete, and anything you provide will be kept both anonymous and confidential. In addition, I’m looking for students who are brave and willing enough to share their personal financial aid stories for publications. The more information you can provide, the better, so I thank you for any help in advance.
Of course, if you have any questions, or if you’d prefer to skip the survey and just tell me your story, feel free to email me at edpage@theeagleonline.com. The article itself should be in print by late April.
Once again, thanks for any help!
