My fall-spring tuition

Hello Family, Friends, and Supporters,

My name is Tynika Conner. As many of may know, I currently attend Alcorn State University where I will be receiving my Bachelor of Science in Nursing May of 2024. I currently have two semesters left to achieve this goal of mine; however, I am in need of financial assistance to cover tuition for my last two semesters of school (Fall of 2023 and Spring of 2024). Through my journey of becoming a nurse, I have recently found out that I have exhausted all my student loans, while recently being denied from private loans. Due to this being my second bachelor’s degree, I am unable to receive any form of Pell Grant. I’ve spoken with financial aid and Foundation and in the end, have met another dead end. I have also contacted outside resources such as the Mississippi Workforce and AJFC, which both did not have any funds at this moment. Those of you who know me, know that I’m hardworking and hardly ever ask for help and would know that I’ve done all that I can before reaching this point. Becoming a nurse means everything to me and I won’t let pride or shame stand between me and my goal. I believe that everyone has a purpose, and I know without a doubt that mine is nursing. For those of you who support me, and those of you who may not even know me, anything helps as I need funds to start this semester. I appreciate everything big and small, and I hope to see this journey through as I am almost to the finish line. For those who aren’t able to give now, the smallest thing such as a share would be greatly appreciated. I thank everyone for being with me throughout this journey and pray that your blessings come back in doubles.
