Quentin Betts makes debt-free plans
Before his junior year of high school, Quentin Betts didn’t know if college might be in the realm of possibilities for him and his family. He was originally planning on joining the military first and going to college later so he could save up.
Luckily, Quentin and his parents were proactive. As a team, they made a game plan and sought out a valuable college experience that wouldn’t break the bank.
“The fact that Purdue has frozen tuition for so long made it very affordable.” — Cammy Betts (Quentin’s mom)
Read Quentin’s storyWe said very early on that we believe strongly that our students and their families deserve a high-value education that they can afford and that we will fit our spending to their budgets — not the other way around. Our goal remains for Purdue to deliver higher education at the highest proven value.
— Purdue President Mitch Daniels
