Eagles and Chris Long teamed up with Michelle Obama’s reach higher initiative to help students file for financial aid

17 January 2018 Eagles News


Eagles defensive end Chris Long has yet again reached out to the community and is making an impact.

Long teamed up with Michelle Obama and her initiative Reach Higher to make sure students know how to apply for FAFSA, which is free college federal aid.

In an article posted on the teams’ website, here’s a further explanation of the new partnership, “That’s why The Chris Long Foundation and the Philadelphia Eagles have teamed up with Reach Higher and Summer Search to help students apply for their FAFSA. The goal of their partnership is to help college-aspiring students from low-income backgrounds across the nation to apply to college, get the financial aid they need, and find the support they need to graduate.”

If you do not remember, Long has donated all his game checks for scholarships in the Charlottesville area. He has also done numerous charitable events with his foundation, The Chris Long Foundation. People like Chris Long change the world and it is an honor for him to be a member of the Eagles.
