Make Taylor's Dream a Reality

Broke college student desperately seeking generous donors!

Hello, my name is Taylor and I'm currently an accepted student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. For a long time, it has been my dream to attend college as I'm a first generational student who was raised in a impoverished home. It is my lifelong goal to graduate and become a behavioral analyst for the FBI and it would make me so happy to be able to achieve this dream through your generous support. A little bit of background on me: both of my parents are deceased and I have raised myself since I was 17 years old, I worked hard to become a Delta flight attendant and graduated training top 1% of my class, I love to read and educate myself on new topics, and I love to rock climb and travel. Recently, I've realized that I would like to expand my knowledge by attending college and for a long time this wasn't possible for me due to my parents coming from a shaky financial background and not being able to afford the costs of tuition. Now, being that I'm an independent student who was homeschooled (I have successfully managed to maintain a 3.7 GPA unweighted) there isn't much in terms of scholarship options for me but I have tried my hardest and managed to raise 45K in scholarship funding with the efforts of my school.

Now comes the hard part, the remainder of my tuition. In total, it is estimated that my tuition costs will be about $75K, hence the donation limit, for 4 years of school. That would leave me at a whopping $119K after I graduate in student debt. My aim is to use the money funded from your support to offset the cost of attendance and you would be helping a disadvantaged student such as myself achieve something great. With your generosity, I will be able to avoid the financial burden of student loans and be able to focus properly on my education. I am kindly asking for any support, whether it be through word-of-mouth to others that do have additional funds to provide or even just advice on college or any tips/tricks to keep in my back pocket. With that being said, thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm really grateful that I have this amazing opportunity to make a change in my life and hopefully I can give my parents something to be proud of even if they're not here.
