Film Transcript / Subtitles

This is Vice President Humphrey. Lack of information often makes the difference between success and failure in being admitted to a college. This breakdown in communication occurs because the student is aware of only a small fraction of the colleges and universities that are available throughout the nation. The Council of Higher Educational Institutions, a national nonprofit organization, has provided a solution for students who wish to find a place in college or graduate school and for institutions seeking qualified students. The Council operates a college admissions assistance center and a graduate admissions assistance center just for that purpose. If you are interested in continuing your education, write to the Council of Higher Educational Institutions at their national headquarters office.
