New York Post touts Houghton’s loan repayment assistance plan
Houghton was also recognized by the New York Post for doing something about the cost of a college education nowadays. The college is offering to help students repay their loans if they don’t land a job after college that pays at least $38,000 per year. The Post says, “How refreshing to see a school willing to bet on its students’ success by throwing its own purse onto the pile.” Three more cheers for Houghton!
