Ronaldo's Journey to Lyon College

Ronaldo Jacob is a high school student from Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies.  He is a very ambitious young man and an exceptional soccer player who was recently awarded a partial athletic scholarship to Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas.  

Due to current financial hardships, Ronaldo and his family are not able to meet the remaining tuition costs. Consequently, I have created this campaign to assist the family in financing the remaining tuition and costs associated with Ronaldo's first year at Lyon College. The remaining tuition/fees are listed below (US $):

Fall/Spring Semesters 2020-2021

Tuition and Fees: $8550 
Housing: $6405
Activity Fees: $240
Technology Fee: $625

Ronaldo Jacob started playing soccer at the tender age of 6 years old and has not looked back since.  His dedication to the sport has earned him many awards including the "Most Goals Scored Award" during the 2014-2015 season at St. Anthony College and the  "Most Visionary Player Award 2017" at Trinity College Moka.  In 2018, he was the only player selected from Trinity College Moka to participate in the island's most anticipated competition where the best players from the North and the South high schools play to be considered the country's All Star Champion.  Ronaldo represented the North team which won the All Star Championship that year.

Ronaldo Jacob has always demonstrated a passion for education and learning. He will be graduating from high school - Trinity College Moka - this June 2020.  He has always dreamt of pursuing his undergraduate studies in the United States and Lyon College is helping him achieve his dream.  He plans on majoring in Business Administration.

In addition to education and sports, Ronaldo has volunteered his time with the Hero Foundation which is a non-profit organization that nurtures the next generation of heroes through creativity and mentorship.  Other community service activities include coaching youth soccer programs and volunteering with a local marine science organization - UTT Marine Sciences.

With great rewards come great sacrifices.  Ronaldo's father has stood by his side during this long and arduous journey, always supporting his son's aspirations.  As his first hero, Ronaldo's dad was also his first coach, first critic and first fan, always cheering for his son's success.

Please support Ronaldo and his Dad.

Thank You!
