“For each of my two years at UWM, the Pell grant has helped cover about 73% of my student tuition and fees. This financial support is the reason I stayed in-state and decided to go to university in the first place. As a first-generation college student, I cannot stress how critical this has been to the success I have found both professionally and personally as it has allowed me to focus on my education and build the confidence to pursue my goals wholeheartedly.”
