Comments from the Judges
“Deeply reported, insightful, empathetic, and beautifully written. The amount of work it must have taken to maintain contact with two sources in such precarious circumstances is impressive in its own right.”
“What a fantastic piece of narrative journalism. The article does an incredible job of capturing the faces behind so many of the issues that make it difficult for low-income students to succeed in their efforts to earn college degrees.”
