That money also enabled me to a) buy a new Corvette in 1971 and b) pay tuition for graduate business courses at Loyola.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Gumucio says the programs are aimed at African American and Latino communities, however the programs are available to everyone who qualifies: “The key barriers to home ownership that these two demographics have faced having really involved down payment problems, and then the second barrier being student loan debt.”)
