A Pella Christian high school graduate was one of ten Iowa outgoing high school seniors recently selected to receive $1,000 for college expenses after they or their families completed a free online tool to estimate the total cost of a four-year undergraduate degree. Jaydon Vande Noord of Pella Christian high school was one of the recipients. Vande Noord was in intern with 92.1 KRLS Radio during his junior year through Winterim. Participants were able to enter their information for the drawings after completing the College Funding Forecaster between March 18 and April 30, provided by Iowa Student Loan. It uses information from students’ freshman year financial aid award packets, as well as outside scholarships and grants and family savings and earnings, to project estimated costs, funding gaps and potential student loan debt over four years. The College Funding Forecaster is available online at www.IowaStudentLoan.org/Forecaster.
