hey guys i'm unsure if i'm considered disadvantaged since i'm not a 1st gen / minority but here are some things about me i feel like could attribute to being disadvantaged but i would like your discretion
  • 5 family members but family income for both parents total $40K
  • grew up in an environment where only 1 parent was working until 2010
  • at times, we couldn't pay our rent
  • i get pell grant and scholarship at my university and financial aid
