Early decision programs are becoming increasingly more pop ular among college admissions, Pitts said. Students applying for admission to a college can re ceive early notification of accep tance based on the premise that they will commit to attend that university or college. This year the University imple mented an early-action scholar ship review program to let stu dents know in November the amount of money they can re ceive in scholarships. Being responsive to student needs means knowing the trend for students to make decisions about their college opportunities earlier in high school. Juniors in high school need more informa tion than they have in past years, Pitts said. "We’re working to increase out-of-state student enrollment,” Pitts said. “We try to keep enroll ment high by providing better in formation to students about the value of coming here even if it costs more.” Got a concern, story idea?
