Help Malikai attend the NSLC at U-Penn Vet

Hi, my name is Malikai Hobson and I am a Junior at Tech Boston Academy. I have been selected to attend the National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) on Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine this summer. This prestigious program selects outstanding high school students from around the world to participate based on academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, and demonstrated leadership potential. It is an honor for me to attend the NSLC, and I am extremely excited about this opportunity. I am writing to request your financial support, which will enable me to attend the Conference.

At the NSLC, I will have the opportunity to participate in leadership development workshops where I will develop skills including effective communication, public speaking, and conflict resolution. In addition, I will participate in lectures and workshops that will give me a better understanding of Veterinary Medicine and will prepare me for college. Some of the program highlights are clinical experience, visiting medical facilities, clinical diagnostic simulation, and one health. I will attend briefings and participate in forum discussions led by National and World leaders in my chosen field. In recent years, NSLC students have met with Secretary of Education Arnie Duncan; Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and retired Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and David Souter; as well as many Senators, Representatives, and Ambassadors.

The cost for me to attend the conference will be $5500. This includes the program, room and board, course materials, program activities, travel to the conference and money for other incidental expenses. Unfortunately, my family cannot afford the entire amount; therefore, I am requesting your assistance. Your financial support in any amount will make a big difference in helping me attend the NSLC.

To learn more about the NSLC please visit www.nslcleaders.org. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, or you can call NSLC directly at (800) 994 – 6752. I welcome any suggestions/feedback that will help me in attaining my goal. Again, your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours truly, Malikai Hobson
