“I was raised in Greeley, attended District Six Schools, and I now serve my community as a Program Coordinator and Success Coach at UNC. What the Bright Futures grant means to me is an opportunity to provide financial support to underserved student populations. If I did not have the financial access this grant provided for me, I would have struggled to complete my undergraduate degree.”
– Rogelio Garcia Perez, UNC Program Coordinator
