Pro Statement
The EOP Emergency grants are crucial to students who need the most aid and support. Thus, it is imperative that they continue to be offered. As an EOP student and Student Mentor, I have learned the value of services such as these, by inviting my peers to use them as resources, as well as doing so myself. On countless occasions, even before becoming a Mentor, I told students about the grants. I know many of them who were saved from eviction or received a new pair of glasses that they desperately needed, but could not afford. Personally, the emergency grants helped me because they gave me the opportunity to apply to graduate school. Being a low-income and first generation undergraduate, it was hard to even imagine what the journey to being a graduate student would be like. The financial burden that graduate school testing and applications impose, thanks to the emergency grant, was no longer an impediment for me. I hope that with the continuation of these services, obstacles such as these will not keep future EOP Students from attaining their goals.
