Meet Natalie Klosterman

Class of 2023, nursing

鈥淏etween scholarships, loans and a part-time job, I will be able to manage student debt and truly focus on my education to be the best nurse I can possibly be. Making my final decision to come to Toledo was dependent on my financial aid package, and after learning I received enough aid, I was ecstatic to commit to The University of Toledo.鈥�

Meet Andrew Kloepfer

Class of 2020, theatre

鈥淚 worked hard at Owens Community College, so at 淫妻社, I was able to earn scholarships when I transferred. My decision came down to cost and opportunity. I could get more for my money at 淫妻社. The theatre department was smaller and there were so many great opportunities.鈥�
