Financial Aid Success Stories

Bill Brooks

"When I was a high school senior, I wondered whether I could
make the grade in college or afford the cost. I got help to pay
the bills and worked hard in school to earn my degree.
You can get help paying the bills, too. Your college degree
will open doors for the rest of your life."

-- Bill Brooks, College
Goal Sunday spokesperson
NFL wide receiver 1986-1996
