I am a full-time student working what little hours I can in between school, organizations, and my internship. I am aspiring to get my bachelor's in social work, but I am constantly stressed out due to being afraid that I won’t be able to afford my cap and gown, my graduation application fees, and a dress for the ceremony itself. I also want to attend graduate school, but I can’t afford the application fees and pay rent at the same time.

These funds would help significantly. They would ensure that I can get my cap and gown, pay my graduation application fee, grad school fees, and secure a dress for me to wear to the ceremony. Overall, it would take a big weight off my shoulders so I can focus on my studies and celebrate this important milestone.

Thank you from a first generation graduate student and a future social worker. Anything helps and I am grateful for all your help.
