Why uAspire?

Why uAspire: Coming from immigrant parents, I always knew college was in my trajectory. It wasn't until I became a senior in high school that I realized how expensive college really is and, furthermore, how confusing the financial aid process is. I was fortunate enough that I had my family to help along the way, but I know that's not the case for every single student. As a first-generation American and college graduate, I want to stand in the gap and help students find financial aid so they, too, can have countless opportunities afforded to them in life because they have a college degree.
