Help Alex Attend Rice University’s Aerospace Academy!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Lorie, and I’m raising funds to support my son, Alex, as he takes a major step toward his dream of becoming an aerospace engineer.

As a mother, my goal has always been to provide Alex with every possible opportunity to succeed. He is a hardworking, dedicated young man who has shown an incredible passion for engineering, robotics, and aviation. I want to ensure that financial barriers do not limit his potential or access to life-changing experiences—experiences that young, driven students like him deserve.

This summer, Alex has been given the incredible opportunity to attend the Aerospace Academy at Rice University, a prestigious program that will give him hands-on experience in aeronautics, space exploration, and engineering. This program is exactly the kind of real-world experience he needs to take his dreams to the next level.

Alex’s Dedication & Achievements

Alex has put in the work to prepare for his future. His dedication is evident in his:

✅ Active membership in his high school Robotics Club, where he works on engineering challenges and problem-solving.
✅ Induction into the National Honor Society (NHS) and National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), recognizing his academic excellence and technical skills.
✅ Participation in SkillsUSA competitions, developing leadership and technical expertise.
✅ Service as a PALS mentor to elementary students, giving back to his community by guiding and inspiring younger students.

Despite his hard work and achievements, opportunities like this come at a cost, and I want to ensure he gets the chance to take full advantage of them.

How You Can Help

The cost of attending this program includes:
✔ Tuition & Program Fees
✔ Travel & Lodging Expenses
✔ Materials & Supplies for the Program

This is where your support can make a difference. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps Alex get one step closer to attending this life-changing program and pursuing his dream of becoming an aerospace engineer.

If you believe in supporting the next generation of STEM leaders, please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Thank you for investing in Alex’s future and helping him reach for the stars!
