Why uAspire?

As a first-generation college graduate, I had to overcome the hurdle that college affordability presents for many American households. As a result of this experience, I developed a passion for education equity. I came to uAspire because we empower students to make sound decisions about financial aid that enable them to rise above the powder keg that is student debt.
