Our proposal outlines the establishment of a loan forgiveness fund designed to provide comprehensive debt erasure for both student educational debt and associated family-incurred educational debt. This initiative challenges the atomistic perception of students in financial aid discourse, acknowledging the profound familial entanglement in higher education financing.
Skillset needs: In collaboration with FLiSci, an educational nonprofit founded by Knight-Hennessy Scholar Gabriel Reyes that supports First-Generation/Low-Income (FLI) students pursuing science careers, we (Emerson Johnson and I) are initiating the grant writing and philanthropy phase of our project.
