If you or someone you love has experienced a life-changing injury, going back to school may feel impossible, but it’s not. In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Lowell Davis, the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at the University of Texas at Arlington, by discussing how universities and community colleges are creating more inclusive, adaptive pathways for students with physical or cognitive injuries.

From financial aid and disability accommodations to adult learners and transition programs, Lowell offers both professional insight and personal encouragement. He explains how programs like CTPE (College and Transition Programs for Employment) are expanding across North Carolina — and how persistence, not perfection, is the key to finding the right fit. Whether you're 18 or 58, we hope this discussion offers hope, direction, and practical next steps for those ready to rebuild through education.

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

🏫 Education options for adults recovering from injury
💰 Scholarships, financial aid, and affordable program pathways
♿ How colleges support students with physical or cognitive disabilities
🔁 Starting at community college and transferring to a 4-year university
🧭 Why perseverance matters more than a perfect GPA or SAT score
