Hi friends and family!

I’m very excited to start college this fall at the University of South Carolina. I've been accepted into the exercise science program at the Arnold School of Public Health.

The good news is, my tuition for 4 years is completely covered by my parents and the academic scholarship I earned. Plus, I’m working 2 jobs this summer and I qualify for the minimum federal student loan, so I will have enough money to cover the cost of my dorm.

The bad news is, the minimum meal plan required for freshmen is $2,680 per semester! And, since I’m classified as a “no need” student, I was disqualified from another scholarship I applied for and can't increase my federal loan

I'm so close, but I have this one last hurdle to figure out. So, I’ve set up this account in case anyone would like to help me reach my final goal.

Please do not feel bad if you can’t donate. Your love and support is more than enough.

Love,

Palmer
