Stephanie's grandmother wrote to Action Line that she feared Stephanie couldn't get a college loan from local banks because she is black.

Action Line put them in touch with Stephanie's grandmother. Now Stephanie's glowing because she has enough money to finish her sophomore year at Central, State College in Wilburforce, Ohio.
