Having spent so much time working with students in higher education I have seen first-hand the struggles that students can face when dealing with difficult financial aid processes. uAspire is dedicated to making financial aid processes less cumbersome, more equitable, and more accessible for the students who need aid most. I can absolutely get on board with that!
