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.

This video shares the stories of Luis, Savion and Shar’dae. Together, their journeys are just one example of the ripple effect that happens when the right support structures are in place.
