As a Hmong-American first-generation college student, Federal Financial Aid gave me the opportunity to meet a community that changed my life. Without it, I would not be the person I am today. I continue to strive for a higher education to be able to support first-generation students like me. We depend on financial aid to allow us to make an impact and be the next generation of leaders. As a first-generation student who came out of high school with little to no support or resources, I was able to get through college with the help of financial aid.
