Since 2005, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has given 400 scholarships of up to $30,000 a year to outstanding community college students to continue their studies. Those students have gone on to average a 3.5 G.P.A. and a 90 percent completion rate, according to Emily Froimson, a spokeswoman. </p>

<p>The foundation also gives up to $1 million to four-year institutions to recruit community college graduates. Among the colleges and universities that have been chosen are the University of Michigan; Cornell; Amherst; the University of California, Berkeley; the University of North Carolina; and Bryn Mawr.

<p>My 2 brothers went to CC and were so pleased with the experience that 3 of their 4 kids have attended or will attend CC. No big deal, and certainly cheaper!</p>

<p>And my brothers are now in really good jobs and have nice houses and little to no debt. :)</p>

<p>Is there a CC near you that “feeds” into OSU? The CC practically across the street from us is a branch of UC. Makes it easier to plan your coursework for 2 to 4 years.</p>

<p>My kiddo was mortified to attend CC but in retrospect found it to have been a good & nurturing environment and a good bridge between HS & the private U she transferred into. It saved us a lot of $$ and heartache. It as a good option for us & easily commutable–a 15-20 minute drive from our home. They had free parking, awesome food and great instructors with small classes. MUCH cheaper than our flagship U with a lot of the same instructors!</p>
