Bria Price 14, a theatre and dance graduate from ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ, remembers the time when she was accepted to ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ. I was actually at a dance concert that I was the costume designer for, and I got my email, and I literally did a twirl in the lobby of the theatre, like yes! I loved ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ so much, shared Price, who focused on modern dance at the College. A significant deciding factor for her college decision was sorting out the financial aspect, which the financial aid team made simple.
When it came to the decision of ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ, they said, Im also going to talk with you about the finances. And when talking with you about those finances, you can still make that choice to ask if ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ is what you want, said Price. It was a decision that I was able to make but also I knew ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ was investing in my education through a scholarship that I love called the Allen scholarship.
While on campus, Price was part of numerous organizations, including the Dance Company, Sorority Life with Delta Theta Psi, and the Black Student Association (BSA). She also helped found ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊs Shades of Gold a cappella group, as well as participated in the cheerleading team.
I wanted to be part of those different activities because when I went to ΊΪΑΟΐΟΛΎ»ϊ, I knew what I was going to study, but I didnt know who I wanted to be, Price expressed. I started exploring different things that I found I really loved and enjoyed.
Price currently is the senior manager of college success at Achieve Atlanta, a non-profit organization that works with students attending public high schools to help them afford and access higher education.
