Ozarks' Elite is a magazine, e-newsletter, website, and a television travel show all inspired by and operated by a group of hard working college students who are sharp, talented, amibitious, energetic, motivated, and good looking! We also have a sense of humor.
The entire idea behind Ozarks Elite is to provide collegiate opportunities to students who have financial need that is not met by grants and other traditional college funding sources. The only option for students that aren't top level athletes, or great test takers and have unmet financial needs for tuition, books, and housing is to take out thousands of dollars in student loans each semester.
This leaves the average graduate $40,000 plus in debt at time of graduation and with no job. This is not a smart way to better your life.
Ozarks Elite founder Christopher Allred, a current full time student and full time worker as well, has found a way in which we can gain real world experience in our intended career field, help pay for our own education while giving back to our community and region by promoting tourism and commerce in the Ozarks to an area in and around our home that nearly 50,000,000 people live in. Yes, according to year 2000 census data 50 MILLION people live with-in 500 miles of the heart of the Ozarks.
