Help Abdiel Joseph Complete His Engineering Degree at UCF

Hi everyone! My name is Abdiel Joseph, and I’m reaching out for your support to help me achieve my dream of graduating with an Industrial Engineering degree from the University of Central Florida. I’m so close, just 11 critical path credits and 15 major course/tech elective credits away from completing my degree, which I aim to finish by December 2025. Unfortunately, financial challenges are making it hard to keep going without taking extended breaks from school.

For most of my college journey, I’ve relied on an academic scholarship from the Take Stock In Children program, which generously helped fund my college hours. I’m deeply grateful for their support, but those funds have now been exhausted. Without any federal financial aid options available to me due to my residency status, I’m left without the resources to finish my final few classes.

I've been in the United States for almost 14 years and completed all four years of high school here, so it’s been hard to face these financial obstacles when I’m so close to achieving my goal. I’ve worked hard to stay on track despite these setbacks, and I’m determined to see this through with your support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help me get over this final hurdle and turn my dream of becoming an industrial engineer into reality.

Thank you for reading and thank you for considering joining me on this journey!
