North Carolina gets low scores for college affordability

An independent report says North Carolina does not make the grade when it comes to affordability.

The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education handed out F’s for affordability to every state except California.

North Carolina scored a B-minus for preparation and completion, and a D-plus for college participation.

North Carolina’s preparation grade benefited from having the country’s highest percentage of high school students enrolling in upper-level math.
