Does age define one’s ability to achieve a degree or diploma?  Not according to recent survey by the National Science Foundation that explored the demographic characteristics of college graduates. According to the survey, nearly 2,000 graduates were 70 years and older. And, with almost 40,000 survey respondents ages 30-69 recently achieving their bachelor's, master's, doctorate, or other professional degrees, it's no wonder why CollegeSurfing.com, a leading portal for education information, is attracting potential students of all ages.  

"Adult education is an ever-evolving industry, one that engages more than just high school underclassmen and graduating seniors," explains Gina LaGuardia, editorial director of The CollegeBound Network, the parent company of CollegeSurfing.com (http://www.collegesurfing.com/clickcount.php?id=6612004&g...). Users of CollegeSurfing.com and all of its sister sites, including SpaBeautySchools.com, Advanced-Degrees.com, Top10-ComputerSchools.com, etc., are provided with in-depth information on the numerous degree and certificate programs available to applicants both young and old. "To some, it may seem an arduous task to locate educational opportunities and financial aid programs," says LaGuardia, "but our sites have  made great strides to offer up the essential information and success tools for students from all walks of life."

Among the greatest myths about adult learning is that financial aid is not an option to nontraditional students. This notion couldn’t be further from the truth. According to an article by The CollegeBound Network writer, Robyn Tellefsen, Financial Aid for Nontraditional Students (http://www.collegesurfing.com/content/article/financial-a...), “Non-traditional students are not forgotten in the financial aid food chain.  Look closely, and you’ll find plenty of funding opportunities just waiting to be discovered.”  

Today, both retirees and working adults alike have the clear option to return to school to earn their diploma or degree and achieve the professional careers that they’ve desired for a lifetime.  Whether one chooses to pursue a degree in engineering, teaching, massage therapy, or the healing arts, CollegeSurfing.com is fast becoming one of America’s most comprehensive educational resources to students of any age, and with vast career interests.  

More than 1.5 million surfers utilize The CollegeBound Network's resource sites each month, which include CollegeBound.net, CollegeSurfing.com, HolisticJunction.com, SpaBeautySchools.com, TopCareerSchools.com, and others.
