As an FLI student, you'll come away from Spread Your Wings and FLI: How to Effectively Navigate College as a First-Generation, Low-Income Student empowered with the tools, resources, community, and confidence to successfully navigate your undergraduate experience and thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6228eef81706335a48a709b6/f45c4485-a9de-4e9a-a0ff-36077ec6fff1/03072020_grad-00306+copy.jpg Publications - “You Have No Idea How High I Can FLI”: The Experience of Low-income Students at Elite Institutions Low-income students have been arriving at elite college campuses at growing numbers each fall.While a growing body of literature has focused on the barriers that low-income students face in applying to college and arriving on campus, there is limited research on how these students navigate the campuses that they arrive in. Through a combination of both quantitative data from Gates Millennium Scholars and interview and survey data from Odyssey Scholars at the University of Chicago, I find that while students are usually provided with the financial resources they need to succeed, social and academic resources often do not meet their needs. https://www.jessicamora.com/testimonials-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Media https://www.jessicamora.com/shop-merch daily 0.75 2022-04-18 https://www.jessicamora.com/shop-merch/p/first-gen-face-mask monthly 0.5 2022-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6228eef81706335a48a709b6/1650923059836-XYXCHTWWHHCI4C9ISPWH/all-over-print-premium-face-mask-black-front-6267162d8ca79.jpg Jess Mora | Merch -
