We look forward to seeing what their future holds without the heavy burden of student debt. “

Members of the advisory board of FAB AID Founder and CEO of FAB Lilli gordon, actress / musician Laura Marano, creator and activist Nabela Noor, YouTube personality Aja Dang, and personal finance expert and founder of @CleverGirlFinance Bola Sokunbi surprised winners with the news via video calls at the start december 2020.

• “I feel like I’m going to see the world with a lot more colors now” – Tyra D., Boston, Massachusetts ($ 61,470 Paid)
  Tyra is a recent Northeastern University graduate working as a nurse in pediatric intensive care, a career that fascinates her enormously and who wishes to take her to the next level by continuing her studies. Her goal is to be a role model for black women who do not often see themselves represented in health education.
• “Just thank you very much for what you are doing. I feel like student loans and debt are a problem and there just isn’t enough effort to address it. So the simple fact whether you do this, whether I have the money or not, I think it’s right, it’s so good. “ – Courtney O., Chaska, Minnesota ($ 84,246 Paid)
  Courtney attended university in an attempt to find his “way out” of difficult family life. Without student loans, she can regain financial freedom, achieve her goal of helping victims of human trafficking and break the “chain” of feeling punished for her mental health.
• “This is really going to launch me further.” – Ashley A., Katy, Texas ($ 17,680 Paid)
  Ashley, whose parents lost their jobs as she finished high school, spent 11 years preparing for her undergraduate degree while working full time. After experiencing her own medical issues and seeing family members dealing with medical challenges, she affirmed her “calling” to be a nurse and advocate for the Hispanic community.
• “You have no idea what this means to me. I feel like I lost this weight that I have been carrying for so long and so many tears that I have shed because of these loans… It ‘ is a very happy ending to a really difficult year. “ – Annah P., College Station, Texas ($ 91,765 Paid)
  Anna is an art teacher whose parents, after adopting two children of China (which Annah loves!), could not support her financially in college as they had hoped. Annah suffered from medical problems last year which made it even more difficult for her to repay her loans.
