Help Me Attend the U. of Penn

#GFMScholarship
My name is Sydney Lampkin and I am a graduating senior from the Holton-Arms School. I plan to attend The University of Pennsylvania; the school I have wanted to attend for most of my life. 12 years of hard work and study paid off as I was fortunate enough to be accepted to the Class of 2020.
The tuition and fees for my first year amount to over $68,000. Yes, $68,000! Unfortunately, I am unable to afford this. While I qualified for financial aid according to FASFA, Penn, like many other private schools, uses a separate institutional method to calculate need. Under that method, I did not qualify for aid other than loans. While my mom can help a lot, I cannot come up with the entire amount, even with loans. Additionally, because I plan a career in medicine, I will need to take out very large loans for medical school. I would like to try to avoid having such a large debt before I even get to that point.
I am very excited about the opportunity that attending such a great institution will afford me and I am so grateful to be a Penn Quaker. I feel that Penn will provide me with the best foundation to be able to pursue my life goal of becoming a physician. My greatest interest is in the field of global medicine. I am determined to pursue my educational and career goals, and I have already started to prepare myself for a career where I can contribute and make a difference on a global scale. In order to make my future plans a reality, I need your help. I am asking for your financial support at any level that you feel comfortable. I won’t let you down!
Thank you for reading my story and I hope that you will be moved to help me with my journey in any way that you can.
