Leah Foster is a College Affordability Advisor at uAspire in New York City, where she supports high school graduates in navigating financial aid and making informed decisions about college affordability. She has experience in student support, leadership development, and educational access, with a strong background in advising and community engagement. Leah earned her B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Africana Studies from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and is passionate about equity, community, and helping students pursue their goals with confidence. As a first-generation college student, I navigated the application and financial aid process without much support from my parents, which made me deeply aware of the challenges students face. I connect strongly with uAspire’s mission and am grateful to be in a role where I can support students who may be experiencing similar challenges and help them feel more confident in their journey.
