National Higher Education Day

National  Higher Education Day is celebrated on June 6 every year to recognize  the importance of education in improving our lives. To excel in your  dream job, it is important to have the latest knowledge in that field,  which can be attained through higher education. Millions of young and  old people take time out on this day to make plans to get a higher  education and think about the options that they have by researching scholarships, potential career choices, and even doing a bit of job-shadowing.

History of National Higher Education Day

National  Higher Education Day was founded by Izamar Olaguez and Marcie Hronis in  2015. The main purpose behind celebrating this day is to motivate  students to pursue higher education and make college fees affordable for  all. Each year, hundreds of students and universities unite to spread  awareness about National Higher Education Day in the U.S.

The  federal government signed the Higher Education Act in 1965. The main  purpose of signing this act was to improve the higher education programs  of educational institutions in the U.S. and offer monetary assistance  to students who are unable to afford their college fees.

The  Higher Education Act was backed by both the federal and national level  governments. Individual states also developed a similar program to  support students who want to enroll in colleges and universities for  higher education. Making higher education accessible is the primary goal  of National Higher Education Day. This includes motivating and funding  students to get enrolled in an undergraduate or a postgraduate degree  program.

National Higher Education Day also initiates various  activities, which are continued all year round. It helps students get  useful information on how to get scholarships and prepare themselves  both mentally and financially for pursuing a higher education degree in  the U.S.

Why we love National Higher Education Day

Employees can excel in their current fields

It gives tips for finding college scholarships

It appreciates the efforts of college students

This  day inspires those working professionals who want to advance in their  respective fields. Getting a postgraduate degree can help professionals  get familiar with the latest market trends that are in sync with their  current fields. Higher education also helps people learn interpersonal  skills that can turn them into valuable assets for their future  organizations.

Pursuing  a higher education degree requires a financial commitment. Higher  education can be rewarding for those who want to switch to a new field  or excel in their existing field of study. However, most students don't  consider going to a college or university after school due to a lack of  financial support. The good news is that there are different scholarship  programs for students that are funded by the government and private  organizations. Some of these private organizations are directly  affiliated with different colleges and universities of the country.  Students can either directly reach out to these organizations or apply  for a scholarship program through their college or university.

This  day is also celebrated to appreciate the efforts of students who are  already receiving a higher education. Education after school is not free  in the U.S. Students are required to pay their tuition fee alongside  other college expenses including conveyance and many end up accumulating  large amounts of student-loan debt.  To pay for these expenses, many students have to do part-time jobs,  which again can be quite challenging to manage alongside their studies.  This day, therefore, is a great way to appreciate the efforts of these  hardworking students and motivate them to complete their higher  education.
