		<description><![CDATA[We spend a lot of time talking about "college preparedness," but with the skyrocketing costs of attending a four-year college and with shrinking PELL grants and scholarship opportunities, we'd better be proactive about ensuring our students are ready for the economic realities they will face. ]]></description>
