I live for the moment when a student or parents thought getting college was impossible because of financial constraints, and then they come to one of our expos and get accepted into college and receive financial assistance to help them stay in college and achieve their goals. I feel like I am living out my purpose to help them,” said Theresa Price, Black College Expo founder and executive director.

 

Wells Fargo’s success is tied to the success of the communities we serve, and we know that education is the gateway to so many opportunities. That is why we want to empower youth and help them advance their educational aspirations,” said Christina Pels-Martinez, Wells Fargo Mid Valley Bay region bank president.
