Mediaplanet and American Model Chandler Kinney in the Fight against College Affordability
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 15, 2018 -- In recognition of back to school and the FAFSA deadline, Mediaplanet today announces the launch of this June’s edition of “College Affordability.” This campaign will highlight the wonderful solutions that allow parents and students to reach beyond their socioeconomic status to invest further in higher education to give all deserving stands the chance to succeed!
A recent study proved that as many as 95% of colleges are completely unaffordable – and thus unavailable – for huge swaths of Americans. For many who would be college students, their choices are delimited by their socioeconomic status before they have even taken the SAT/ACT exams. Furthermore, there are 44.2 million Americans with student debt and 4.7 million of them are in default. Americans, particularly millennials, are delaying major life events like buying homes, starting families, and even saving for retirement. Instead of propelling them forward, the debt and the overall college expenses is holding many people back.
The print component of “College Affordability” is distributed within today’s edition of USA Today in Seattle, Carolinas, San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Philadelphia, Nashville, North Central Florida, South Florida, Pittsburgh and Phoenix with a circulation of approximately 320,000 copies and an estimated readership of 960,000. The digital component is distributed nationally through a vast social media strategy and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.

“Lethal Weapon” and American Model Chandler Kinney graces the cover of the print publication. Through an exclusive interview, Chandler reveals her strategy with deciding on the right college for her while also making sure this will fit into her acting career. “My main priority is choosing a school that can work alongside the demands of my schedule as an actor.” She continues to advocate for higher education and encourage readers to attend college through saying “Education is one of the most powerful tools to be equipped with as you move throughout the world. Since then, she has shined light on the conversation toward diversity and the positive impact that a diverse environment has on a student’s ability to be a critical thinker.
