Logan Bjerkos, a senior social work major at Viterbo University, admits she was worried about the cost of attending college when she was considering where to study.
“I was terrified going into college, thinking about how I was going to afford this,” she said. “But Viterbo worked really well with all of the financial aid, the grants and scholarships.”
In the end, Bjerkos said a friend who goes to a public college pays more than she does at Viterbo, which is a private university.
“That’s one thing that always surprises people, that I pay less,” said Bjerkos. “There are so many scholarships available at Viterbo that make a difference and they’re willing to help you, because they really want you here.”
Bjerkos, who’s from Westby, said Viterbo’s financial aid office does a great job of working with students to help meet their needs as much as possible.
