Hi, my name is Saniya Harrigan, and I’m a graduating Computer Science major at Howard University.

I’m currently facing an urgent financial challenge. I have an outstanding tuition balance of $14,733 that must be paid by April 24th in order for me to graduate. Over the past two years, staying enrolled has been incredibly difficult due to rising tuition costs, while also helping cover off-campus housing, car expenses, groceries, and other daily needs with support from just my mom and myself.

On top of being a full-time student, I’ve been working 30 hours a week to stay afloat and have taken out multiple loans to remain in school. I’ve done everything I can to make it this far, and I’m so close to finishing.

I never imagined I would be in a position to ask for help, but I’m doing everything I can to cross the finish line.

If you’re able to donate or even just share this message, it would truly mean the world to me. Thank you so much for supporting a determined student working to complete her academic journey — and helping a baddie in STEM make it to graduation.
