Graduated With Zero Debt Jenna

During Jenna’s senior year of high school, a local stylist as well as a stylist friend in La Crosse recommended Southwest Tech. She took those recommendations and is happy she did. “Everyone was so friendly and we were super prepared for our state boards.”

Jenna was able to graduate with zero debt because of grants and saving money from summer employment. She is now working at her hometown salon with no college debt and looking to the future.
