Can I afford college? Tuition struggles have Cleveland students searching for answers
CLEVELAND (WJW) — Marianna Trecarichi, 19, from Medina is thriving at Cleveland State University as a cheerleader and psychology major. As the first in her family to go to college, she knew there would be an uphill battle in paying for school. 'I already knew Cleveland State's tuition was the cheapest and I just knew that it made the most sense for me financially to not be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt,' Trecarichi said. SURVEY: More Americans say college isn't worthwhile Rising tuition costs, combined with limited financial aid options and the burden of student debt, are creating a tough landscape for students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. 'I'm applying for this scholarship despite my unwavering commitment to my future, the financial cloud looms over me like an unshakable weight,' Trecarichi said. Jimmy Malone is the founder of the Jimmy Malone Scholarship Program and said for more than 30 years he's been receiving emotional application essays just like these. This year, Malone's non-profit received higher than usual submissions from students in search of free money, a trend that's also being felt nationwide. The latest education stats show 19% of students surveyed dropped out with financial uncertainty as the cause. Fifty-nine percent considered dropping out due to financial stress and 78% percent reported negative impacts on mental health. Colleges will cost up to $95K for some. Schools say financial aid can numb sticker shock 'There are many, many students who graduate from college with little or no debt, but you have to make an intelligent decision,' Malone said. Malone said students should start applying for college scholarships while still in high school. And to fill out the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and to apply for grants. What's Trecarichi's advice? 'It might seem fun and great to go to one school, but if the other one makes financially more sense and you can't afford the other school then I feel like the decision kinda gets made for you,' she said.

Kellie Harper, Missouri women's basketball land Cleveland State transfer Jordana Reisma
New Mizzou head coach Kellie Harper has landed her second commitment out of the transfer portal. Cleveland State transfer forward Jordana Reisma announced Monday afternoon via her X account that she has committed to Missouri women's basketball. She is the second player to join the Tigers in this transfer portal window, following Kentucky guard Saniah Tyler. Advertisement Reisma, a 6-foot-3, Brown Deer, Wisconsin native, is a promising addition to the Tigers' frontcourt, as she averaged 14.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game for the Vikings last season. She also has tallied more than one block per game in her college career. Offensively, the transfer forward gets most of her work done at the rim, and at an extremely efficient clip. Reisma was a 67.7% shooter from the field last season. In three seasons and 107 total games with Cleveland State, however, she has never taken a shot from 3-point range. The Tigers now have eight players on the roster for next season, meaning Harper has the room to sign seven more players in this window. Advertisement Reisma is currently one of three forwards on the Mizzou roster, although five of the eight players are listed at 6-0 or taller. Iowa guard Kate Martin (20) attempts a shot against Cleveland State's Jordana Reisma during the Hawkeye Showcase at Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023, in Des Moines. Six Missouri players have already entered the transfer portal, including standout guard Ashton Judd. Combo guard Tilda Sjokvist, center Lucija Milkovic, forward Hilke Feldrappe and point guards Londyn Oliphant and De'Myla Brown each also intend to transfer out of the program. MU center Tionna Herron announced Monday she has medically retired from the sport. More: Missouri basketball center Josh Gray has entered the transfer portal. But, can he do that? More: Missouri women's basketball center Tionna Herron medically retires from sport Advertisement Along with transfer additions Reisma and Tyler, Missouri still has point guard Averi Kroenke, high school signee Nikki Kerstein, returning guards Grace Slaughter and Abbey Schreacke and returning forwards Hannah Linthacum and Ma'Riya Vincent expected to be on the roster next season.

Bob Huggins is among Cleveland State head-coaching candidates, per report Former Cincinnati Bearcats and West Virginia Mountaineers head coach Bob Huggins is among candidates for the Cleveland State Vikings' head-coaching vacancy, and Adam Nelson reported that Huggins is believed to have talked to the school about the job late last week.

Advertisement Cleveland State was 23-13 last season, 14-6 in the Horizon League. The Vikings lost to Illinois State in the championship game of the College Basketball Invitational.

About one month earlier, Huggins used a slur on-air to describe Xavier University fans during a 700 WLW interview. Huggins was UC's head coach from 1989 to 2005. "I don't have any good thoughts of Xavier whatsoever," Huggins told reporters two days before XU hosted WVU in 2022. "None. Absolutely none."
