For many students, the reality of debt and all the costs incurred during their time in college can seem crippling.

The University Park Undergraduate Association is trying to find a way to amend that, in part through a video series about the lives of Penn Staters and their financial struggles. Titled “Life of a Penn Stater,” the series will document students’ affordability stories as a way to support UPUA’s efforts to advocate on behalf of students’ financial insecurities.

“Financial insecurity is a major concern for the student body in many forms,” the application said. “Tuition-based, food, housing, medical expenses, organizational fees, etc.”

If you have any interest in being a part of this video series, you can fill out the form to participate here.
