  • “My college experience has taught me so much about myself and has helped me grow and prepare for the next steps in my life. Being a first-generation college student was very scary for me, but I feel that EPAAF has supported and guided me to help me succeed to make my dreams come to life.”

  • “As much as I have expressed how challenging college is, college has created a dream for me that I am encouraged to make a reality. I was never able to see where I was in the future, but now I could imagine myself in a hospital wearing a white coat.”
