“Coming from a reservation with only my mother, I’ve always been hyper-aware of our financial struggles. During my junior year, I feared I couldn’t afford college. Thanks to UW Madison’s tribal scholarship and the Pell Grant, my dream became real. My mother and I cried with joy. Now, I hold a 4.0 GPA and am deeply grateful for the opportunity. UW Madison has given me hope, community, and a future. I desperately need continued aid—it would shatter me to lose it. Please let me continue. I won’t let you down. Thank you for listening to me.”
