VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY

“When I transferred to Cleveland State University, it was a whole new space and a whole new environment and I was struggling a little bit. My parents didn’t go to college, so it was my mentor who helped me navigate through CSU. She pushed me to reach out to my professors and to my advisors, and gave me advice on how to navigate through school. And now that I’ve graduated, I want to do that for someone else.”

VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY

“The financial part of college is the biggest determining factor in going to college or continuing through college. Right now, my school pays for a lot of my college experience, but there is still extra left over, and Say Yes Cleveland takes care of that extra. So I only pay for a little bit. Without Say Yes Cleveland, it would be really hard for me to be a student. But the financial need is only part of it. They also have a mentoring program, and I would tell any student about to go to college to make sure that they work closely with their mentors. Take advantage of them. They really help!”
