Like you, I've been touched by Lydia's wisdom, compassion, and heart. Lydia lived with me this past month, and I appreciated her motivation and enthusiasm for grad school. However, Lydia is stressed about funding because her grad school, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, is not covering her full tuition during her first year because she will be an out-of-state student. Always a good planner with a strong work ethic, Lydia plans to work part-time during her first year in grad school. Because we all know: a) Lydia is exactly the type of person we want to succeed in grad school, and b) she would never want to trouble anyone, I started this GoFundMe page for donations toward her tuition gap (what UCCS won't cover) as well as her monthly rent for the first year. Anything you can contribute is very much appreciated! Let's help Lydia start grad school strong, with one less thing to worry about - finances!
