ASAP from a personal standpoint has been a blessing for a friend of mine. Without it she’d barely be able to afford college, due to cost of travel, cost of food, and books. With Asap she receives a free metro card during her enrolled semesters, she will even be getting one for the upcoming winter semester as she will be taking one class. She also received 500$ for books at the beginning of the fall semester which helped her pay for her books and a calculator. ASAP’s mission is to raise the amount of people who graduate from two year colleges from 22% to 50%. For an update after her two years at QCC she intends to go to York as she won’t need to pay for metro cards there and could just eat at home.
