WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“Before Big Mo, I wasn’t planning on going to college because I didn’t think it was possible financially. Now I’m headed to college to pursue videography and build a future doing what I love. Big Mo helped make that path real for me.”

Broome High School Student
“I always had a plan to go to college, but I needed that last piece to make it possible. Now I’m headed to Converse to study elementary education and graduate debt free. Big Mo helped me finish what I started.”
