Nick's Tuition Fund.

Hello. My name is Nicholas Rodriguez, but you can call me Nick. I have spent the last two years working on getting my associate's degree and transferring to art school to finish undergrad with my BFA. I completed one of those things and now, after what feels like a dream come true, I am at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) studying Animation and Illustration.

However, my financial aid, grants, loans, and scholarships did not cover the full amount and I am asking for help to raise at least half of what I owe so I can continue going to school next spring. I have been experiencing a lot of financial hardship lately and I hate to ask, but helping me get half my tuition paid will allow me to work with the financial aid office and to continue my education.

I have worked so hard to get to where I am right now and I will keep working hard, but I can't give up now.

Getting my BA is so important to me right now and will allow me to find better work in the long run.

Along with my current part-time job, any and all donations will be going toward tuition and necessities.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yours,

Nick R.
