Support a First-Gen Student's Columbia Dream

Donation protected
Dear community,

“It takes courage to ask for help.” This phrase has had a significant impact on me because I have been needing to ask for some help as I take next leap in my professional journey. I’m so incredibly excited to share that I will be pursuing my Masters of Arts in Psychology and Education at Teacher’s College, Columbia University with an Area of Focus on Spirit, Mind, and Body. I plan to develop my professional skills and to continue to research how we can build and maintain safe, happy, healthy, beautiful communities.

I have been actively searching for and applying to funding opportunities to help with full time tuition costs (totaling $26,425 per semester), however there are limited options at the graduate level.

I appreciate any support or advice you can provide. As a first-generation, low-income student, and as a big sister, it means the world to me to be a role model, to follow my heart and pursue my dreams, even when it’s a challenge. I can’t wait to share what this next chapter brings.

Love,
Lisa ❤️


Querida comunidad,

"Se necesita valor para pedir ayuda". Escuchar esta frase ha tenido un impacto significativo en mí porque necesito pedir ayuda mientras doy el siguiente salto en mi trayectoria profesional. Estoy increíblemente emocionada de compartir que continuaré mi educación con una Maestría en Psicología / Educación en Teacher's College, Universidad de Columbia con un área de enfoque en Espíritu, Mente y Cuerpo. Planeo desarrollar mis habilidades profesionales y continuar investigando cómo podemos construir y mantener comunidades seguras, felices, saludables y hermosas.

Actualmente estoy buscando oportunidades para ayudar con los costos de matrícula de tiempo completo (por un total de $26,425 por semestre), sin embargo, existen opciones limitadas a nivel de posgrado.

Agradezco cualquier apoyo o consejo que puedan brindar. Como estudiante de primera generación, de bajos ingresos y como hermana mayor, significa muchísimo para mí ser un modelo a seguir y seguir mis sueños y mi corazón, incluso cuando hay dificultades. Espero poder compartir lo que trae el próximo capítulo.

Abrazos,
Lisa ❤️
