Lynne Myers, director of financial aid at the College of the Holy Cross, spoke about the College’s commitment to low-income students of Worcester in a recent GoLocalWorcester article. The College’s commitment was highlighted as contributing to the efforts by the city of Worcester to give low-income students opportunities to graduate high school and move forward to higher education.

“We try to show all students, even those who are low income, that if they are conscious of their grades, then there is a place for them at Holy Cross,” said Myers. “We advocate for students to begin to think about college as soon as the sixth grade. Paying attention in classes and high achievement in the middle school and high school settings bode well on a college application. Having a good application could translate into scholarships and other financial aid that could help even a low income student attend college.”
