"Coming back to CSI after having an 8-year break was the hardest decision I have ever made. I was scared of how I would pay off my schooling or what steps I have to take to reinstate as a student. I went into admissions and registered for my classes, and they directed me to Aaliyah Garcia to see if I qualified for a scholarship. I was so nervous to reach out, but Aaliyah set up a zoom meeting with me. She was so comforting when I told her my story and reassured that she would be cheering me on to finish what I started. She helped me to get some scholarships and checks up to see how I'm doing. Her and the other staff members at CSI, have been so supporting. Thank you so much Aaliyah for all of your guidance."
