🏆Ayers Scholars continue to lead the way in college enrollment!

An analysis of new data from for the Class of 2025 shows that 67% of counties served by Ayers saw an increase in college-going rates (CGR), with Ayers counties accounting for half of the state’s top 10 counties for CGR growth and CGR overall.

We’re proud to play a part in the state’s progress, and grateful for the hard work our Ayers counselors put in each and every day to help students take the next step toward their futures.

It’s Financial Aid Friday!

October is National Financial Planning Month, and one of the best ways to plan for your future is to complete your FAFSA early!

Completing your FAFSA now gives you more time to explore financial aid opportunities, meet important deadlines, and prepare for college costs.

It’s Tip Tuesday! 🎓

We asked our friends at MTSU to share their best advice for students applying to college.

From getting started early to asking questions along the way, a little advice can make the college application process feel a lot less overwhelming.

Ayers Scholars, remember: your Ayers College Access Counselor is here to help you every step of the way!
