“Coming from a low-income household, college always felt just out of reach. That changed when I received my financial aid package and saw the Pell Grant would help cover most of the cost. Without that support, I truly wouldn’t have been able to attend. Financial aid allowed me to focus on my education instead of worrying about how to afford it. I got involved on campus, earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, and found my path in higher education. My time at UW-Oshkosh shaped who I am today, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities it gave me.”
