WELLESLEY — When Edgar Kasirye was a boy growing up in Uganda, he dreamed of becoming an aerospace engineer, but educational opportunities were limited. In 2018, the now grown-up Kasirye was granted immigration to the U.S., and he moved to Massachusetts with his wife and three children. "In Africa, people talk about America as the place of dreams," he said. "When I first arrived, I knew I wanted to go to school and start pursuing education." However, Kasirye was met with the steep reality of having to pay for school.
