Favour's Dream: Undocumented and Masters Student

Hello! My name is Favour Nnaemeka George, and I am a prospective Master's student at Texas A&M University. Thanks to recent legislation, undocumented students in my position have lost their in-state tuition eligibility. That's thousands of students being robbed of their hard-earned opportunity of achieving their dreams of university due to the inability to afford funding.

The overwhelming majority of us undocumented students were brought to this country by our parents and had no choice in the matter, but have made use of every opportunity available to them to achieve success. As did I, thanks to the funding, grants, and jobs that I had to pick up just to afford in-state tuition. I no longer have that luxury and my tuition tripled from 5k a semester to about 13k. This will not stop me as I'm exploring every possible avenue to achieve my dream of getting my master's in Occupational Safety and Health, and someday make a huge impact and contribute to the country that I consider my home, the USA, regardless of what my legal status currently states.

Any amount you can give brings me one step closer to achieving this dream. If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to me.
