“Federal financial aid was essential to my educational journey. It eased the financial burden on my family and made college possible for me. With this support, I was able to focus on my studies, graduate on time, and gain the skills needed for my next steps after earning my undergraduate degree. Financial aid didn’t just help cover tuition—it gave me the chance to build a future. For thousands of students like me, financial aid represents more than assistance; it’s access, opportunity, and the foundation for achieving our goals.”
