As a first-generation disabled Latina, being accepted to Emory University for my Master’s in Public Health is a life changing opportunity and a major step toward my goal of advancing health equity in underserved communities. I have been awarded a generous $30,000 scholarship and secured $20,000 in loans, but I still face an approximately $20,000 gap to cover essential educational and living expenses, including housing, books, and program-related costs.

Any financial support—no matter the amount—would make a meaningful difference in helping me pursue this degree and continue breaking barriers in higher education. Your assistance would directly invest in the future of a student committed to serving marginalized communities through public health.

Thank you sincerely for your consideration and support.
