Access Scholarships Higher Education Fundraiser

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Ayden Berkey. I am a 2020 college graduate and the Co-Founder of a free-to-use scholarship search engine/student resource platform called Access Scholarships. My platform aims to connect students with scholarships, resources, and other opportunities that will help them to succeed throughout their higher education journeys and beyond.

Since starting up Access Scholarships, I have had the opportunity to speak to hundreds of students firsthand and hear their stories pertaining to paying for school. It’s no secret that lots, if not most, of today’s college and graduate school students are having trouble coming up with the money to continue to fund their higher education due to the long-lasting effects of the pandemic. 

I want to do as much as I possibly can to make sure that Access Scholarships students have the money and resources that they need to succeed. That’s why I have launched this fundraiser! 

Here’s how it works:

Access Scholarships currently has a no essay scholarship which is awarded to one lucky student by random drawing each quarter of the year. The next deadline for our scholarship is March 31st. 

When a student enters into our scholarship drawing for this cycle, not only will they be in the running to win the normal $1,000 scholarship, but they will also be considered to win a fraction of the money that is raised through this GoFundMe. The more money we raise, the more money we will be able to give out (and the greater number of students we will be able to help!). For example, if we raise $5,000, we will give out 10, $500 scholarships. 

Please consider donating to this GoFundMe to help me fulfill my mission of helping students in need!
