“Since I turned 25, I had been paying my own health insurance and copays since I was no longer covered under my parents’ plan. Two out of my four paychecks a month were reserved just for these expenses. I was unable to save any money in my bank account and had no financial security to fall back on. I just recently started paying off my undergraduate loans as well; my graduate loans go into repayment in November. If awarded money from the SAMfund, I can begin to pay off my student loans and health insurance costs. I have grown accustomed to living paycheck to paycheck and would like to become financially independent to ready me for the next chapter of my life.”
