WASHINGTON DC - MAY 13: Angel C. Dye (center) was able to receive her undergraduate degree from the College of Arts and Sciences thanks to donors who stepped in to help. Dye celebrates on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC on May, 13, 2017. In 2016, Angel Dye was trying to pursue her Howard University education, but like scores of other students at the prominent, financially strapped HBCU, she owed thousands, and had been kicked out of her dorm room and still took classes on the down low. A year later Dye receives her degree today, with the help of donors who read her story and is headed to graduate school. (Photo by Marvin Joseph/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
