I received Pell Grants at UW-Platteville after my father had a motorcycle accident that left him unable to work for several months, and needing to take a pay cut following a change in career due to his injuries. Although I only received federal aid for one year at university, the temporary easement on my family’s financial situation allowed me to pursue an education, when the alternative stood as going straight into the workforce.
