Darius Education Expenses

I have been admitted to Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts to pursue a STEM related career, specifically to study Information Technology and Physics.  I have been awarded scholarship money from Curry College  and a private organization,  and I have also taken out federal student loans. Despite this, I am still short $8,500 for the tuition balance for fall semester, and a total of $17,000 for  tuition for the 2017 academic year.  In order to be able to attend college, I will need to pay the $8,500 by August 18, 2017.   My mother lost her job in December 2015 and is still unemployed, so my parents are unable to take out private loans to cover the outstanding balance.

I am a highly motivated and accomplished student, and really hope you will support my request to help raise the balance owed.  My accomplishments are as follows:

Scoring a 1340 out of 1600 on the SAT exam
Scoring a 31 out of 36 on the ACT exam
Scoring a 4 out of a possible 5 on the following Advanced Placement Exams ( 3 is passing)
        Advanced Placement Physics II
        Advanced Placement Psychology
        Advanced Placement Macro/Economics
Scoring a 3 out of a possible 5 on the following Advanced Placement Exams
        Advanced Placement Physics 1
       Advanced Placement Chemistry
       Advanced Placement US History
       Advanced Placement Calculus
       Advanced Placement US Government and Politics
       Advanced Placement World History

I am just a few weeks away from achieving my dream of attending college to pursue a career in STEM.  I would be extremely grateful if you would consider donating to my fundraising campaign, as every dollar helps move me closer to my goal.
