I am so grateful to have participated in the Freshman Scholars Institute this summer...Throughout the program, I received help from several staff members and upperclassmen from my RCA to fellows at the McGraw and Writing Centers. Thus, I was able to develop a routine and strategies to be more productive at home.

Being FLI means channeling the immense strength that comes from being the first one in my family to go through the college process.

PUPP has opened doors for me that I didn’t believe existed. The program has helped me redefine my future with a strong feeling of hope and confidence. I am forever grateful for the people in the community.

In some ways, I wouldn't have received hints of the path I wanted to follow if I had not met so many different people during my time with PUPP. My experience at PUPP helped define the scholarship I wanted, one which pursues many things but doesn't leave behind those who want to know more.

Through FSI, I have met people from all over the world, sharpened my academic skills, and learned about the extensive amount of resources on Princeton's campus.

To me, being a PUPP alumni means being part of a community with tenacious and passionate learners who are there to support one another through mentorship and other means when needed. I use my role as a PUPP alumni to give back to the program by advising current scholars, representing the program when I can, and applying the skills I obtained throughout my years in PUPP to present challenges and situations. I am proud to be part of the PUPP community and look forward to seeing the program develop in future years!To me, being a PUPP alumni means being part of a community with tenacious and passionate learners who are there to support one another through mentorship and other means when needed.

Through attending many awesome events, I have learned how to prepare myself for the upcoming semester and to succeed not only during my time at Princeton but also after I graduate from the University.

Being FLI at Princeton means being part of a family, one which supports you and actively works for your success.

PUPP opened up a world of opportunities for me. Being able to travel to colleges and universities with PUPP allowed me to experience the college scene and ultimately pick what college was right for me. I feel blessed to be apart of such a magnificent program that has become family.
