Boca Raton, FL - December 4, 2008 -- With the onset of a slowing economy statistics show* that tuition cost have dramatically increased this year. In fact, since 1984, college fees and tuition have risen 430%, much more than inflation would account for. In hard economic times, with most industries, the response is to tighten spending and reduce cost. This is not the case with colleges. With college enrollment down, most colleges have chosen to increase tuition cost an average of 6%. The one bright spot for the prospective student is Future Scholars http://www.futurescholars.com/free ; a new offering from the leaders in online education advising, Education Connection.

Now qualified prospective students have the opportunity to experience online education, for no cost and learn if online education is right for them. Students get up to $1800.00 worth of college tuition credit that they can transfer to a degree at a participating university. The courses are provided by fully accredited universities.

"The Future Scholars program is designed to identify individuals who can be successful earning a degree totally online. It benefits the student because it serves as an extended test ride where they can learn if they're truly suited to online education. Colleges and universities are desperate to enroll students that can be successful ,however prior to the Future Scholars program, there was no way to determine who would thrive in an online environment who would not. This is truly an extraordinary opportunity for both the perspective student and the school," said Richard Capezzali, Education Connection founder and CEO.
