At University of Chicago low-income students were self-selecting out of study abroad and career preparation programs over fear of cost. Partnering with Career Advancement, the financial aid office created funding opportunities and communications to allow all students access to these experiences. The office also simplified the student experience of requesting funds and worked to educate students and campus partners about the opportunities available.
