Why uAspire?

I strongly believe in uAspire's mission! After going through my own college experience and working within the Financial Services Industry, I am motivated by the potential of making postsecondary education affordable for everyone and the positive effects on economic mobility that will rise, from postsecondary education attainment, for BIPOC individuals.
