Real estate investment leader Eugene Gorab oversees operations at Greenfield Partners, LLC, as President and CEO. When he isn’t busy handling a broad range of real estate investment opportunities, Eugene Gorab supports Bucknell University, his undergraduate alma mater, as a trustee.
According to U.S. News & World Report, Bucknell University was one of 2020’s top 20 colleges that had the best return on investment. Approximate costs for the university include around $59,000 in tuition, $5,700 for meal plans, and $9,200 for housing. This amounts to a total estimated cost of $73,900 for 2021-22, not including activity fees or other expenses. Fortunately, Bucknell offers a great deal of financial aid support for its students. Not only does it accept need-based grants, like the federal Pell Grant or Pennsylvania State Grant, but also it welcomes loans from both the federal government and other private providers. The university itself also maintains a monthly payment plan for students and their families. This plan lets students cover their college costs via five consecutive monthly payments. All installments are free of interest, and applying for the program does have a fee associated with it. Bucknell University also helps students find the funding they need in other ways, like the federal work-study program. Students in this program work eight to 10 hours a week and receive wages from both Bucknell University and federal funds. The university’s Tuition Exchange program also alleviates the financial burden of attending college for some students.
