The 2025 State of Higher Education report provides new insight into the value Americans place on post-high school education — and what still stands in their way. Despite continued concern over cost, demand for education remains strong: 57% of unenrolled adults have considered enrolling in the past two years. Mental health, emotional stress and finances remain top reasons adults stop out of college or delay enrollment.


 
 

The #WorthIt campaign highlights the value of higher education and the positive impact it has on individuals and communities, amid rising skepticism about the cost and value of a college degree. This coordinated campaign offers a strong and unified message: higher education transforms lives, strengthens communities, and fuels economic mobility.
