Hi, my name is Caleb, and I’m a high school senior from Conyers, Georgia. I was recently accepted into the Fall 2025 cohort of StandOut Connect — a highly selective college access and mentorship program that supports students from underrepresented backgrounds through the college application process. The program connects students with expert mentors, provides one-on-one college advising, application and essay support, and helps us build relationships with college admissions officers. For someone like me, who’s passionate about engineering and aiming for top schools like MIT, Georgia Tech, and Stanford, this opportunity could make a huge difference. Unfortunately, the tuition for the program is $2,950, and I need to submit it by Wednesday, August 6th to keep my spot in the Fall Cohort. Financial aid isn’t available through the program, and my family isn’t in a position to cover this cost on short notice. I’m doing everything I can to make this happen. Any donation — no matter how small — or even a share of this campaign would mean the world to me. Thank you so much for reading and supporting my future.
