With this letter to you, I urge you to please hear me out and help me. I do not have the money to attend UCONN because of my family’s financial situation. The aid I received was a blessing and gave me the opportunity to follow my dreams and make my parents proud. It was the main driving factor for me going to UCONN as I pay for school myself.

I required to live in the dorms and I did not receive a fund from the swim team; because it was my first year on the swim team. Therefore, I learned independently how to fill in the F.S.F.A. (federal student aid) and it turned out that the grant I received barely covered for tuition, but it did not cover for housing.

Then I would immediately start looking for another job because I'm already being underpaid and I do not want to commit fraud just to get a decent check. I could not continue to work in a environment like that. This is a decision you should not have to think about because I know that I have worked very hard to get this far and I wouldn't throw it all away for somebody else.
