Fans of the University of Utah’s football team have a lot to be excited for on the field, and even more to cheer for off the field.
The U. recently made a commitment to their low-income students by establishing a scholarship fund to attend school for free. It is a sign that higher education institutions are finally recognizing the need to provide a quality education for all students. This announcement made me proud to have graduated from this institution.
While there is still much progress to be made in supporting these students at the university level, they should not be alone in this effort.
