- Guayama, PR (1888PressRelease) July 30, 2024 - Susan, a student at College, has launched a heartfelt fundraising campaign to support a dear friend who is facing a critical financial challenge. Due to a sudden tuition increase from $10,000 to $20,000, this dedicated student is in urgent need of $7,000 to continue their education this fall.
For the past two years, Susan's friend has demonstrated remarkable resilience, working over 20 hours a week during the academic year and up to 50 hours a week during the summer to fund their education. Despite their hard work, the recent tuition hike, combined with a family emergency that has required them to provide financial support, has made it impossible for them to cover the costs alone. Their family is unable to assist with tuition or co-sign loans, prompting Susan to seek help from the community.
"My friend is not just a student; they are a vibrant member of the Mount Holyoke community, deeply engaged in campus life and activism," Susan stated. "They have founded and led a student organization, excelled in their studies in sociology and politics, and participated in various campus productions. If they cannot return this fall, they will lose invaluable opportunities and experiences that they have worked so hard to achieve."
The campaign aims to rally support from the community, emphasizing the importance of investing in dedicated students. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in ensuring that this student can continue their education and pursue their passions.
