Hi, my name is Mia Rivera, and I’m currently in the 9th grade. I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted into the University of Florida’s RISE Summer Program—an incredible opportunity that allows high school students like me to experience college-level learning, explore career paths, and grow as leaders.

This program means so much to me. It’s a chance to challenge myself academically, meet inspiring peers, and take a big step toward achieving my goals. But I need your help to make it happen.

The cost of the program is more than my family can manage on our own, so I’m reaching out to ask for your support. Any donation, big or small, will help cover the program tuition, travel expenses, and supplies I’ll need to fully participate.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and support my journey. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to me.

With gratitude,
Mia Rivera
