Julia’s Story
After losing her father during her senior year of high school, higher education seemed out of reach for Julia. Then she discovered Modern States, a nonprofit that gave her access to free, online, for-credit college courses. This opportunity allowed her to return to school and earn two degrees without incurring debt. Her story is about resilience, opportunity and rewriting what’s possible.
