Help Brian Bernier Attend the Harvard Undergraduate Ventures

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out to ask for your support in helping me take advantage of an incredible opportunity. I am currently a junior at Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, MA, and I have been accepted into the highly prestigious Harvard Undergraduate Ventures-TECH Summer Program (HUVTSP)—a premier high school innovation academy with a 5% acceptance rate!

This program, hosted by Harvard Undergraduate Ventures and the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard (TECH) within the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), will allow me to work with leading startups and receive mentorship from world-renowned CEOs, investors, and Harvard faculty.

I have always been deeply passionate about business and entrepreneurship—not just as a career path, but as a way to make a meaningful impact on the world. I believe that innovation and leadership can solve real-world problems, create opportunities for others, and drive positive change in communities. That belief has fueled my ambitions, inspiring me to launch a startup business with a classmate and seek out experiences that will help me grow into a future leader in business.

In addition to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I am an incredibly hardworking student who excels academically while balancing multiple commitments. I hold a part-time job, dedicate myself to hockey, and actively give back to my community through church volunteer work.

However, the tuition for this prestigious program is $4,750, and while I have been awarded a $500 scholarship, I still need to raise $4,250 to cover the remaining costs.

I am asking for your help to make this life-changing experience possible. Any donation—big or small—will bring me closer to this extraordinary opportunity.

Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser with friends and family. Your support means the world to me!

Thank you for believing in me and my dreams.

With gratitude, Brian Bernier
