Seventy-one percent of Virginia's 1993 public high school graduates plan to go to college, but recent double-digit tuition increases will make that difficult for many.
The breadth of this issue prompted the Daily Press of Newport News, The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, the Richmond Times-Dispatch and the Roanoke Times & World-News to collaborate on a series of stories that define the problem and offer solutions.
The Associated Press, a cooperative owned by the newspaper industry, coordinated the project.\ \ Jeff Glick, 29, is the award-winning art director of The Virginian-Pilot, who previously worked at U.S. News and World Report, the Miami Herald and the Dallas Morning News.
\ Ruth S. Intress, 36, is the higher education reporter for the Richmond Times-Dispatch. She won Virginia Press Association awards for reports on colleges' wealthy foundations and the NCAA probe into the University of Virginia's athletic spending.
