Support Cody’s Journey as a First-Gen Georgia Tech Student

Hi, my name is Cody Page and I’m a first-generation student and Math and Computer Science double major at Georgia Tech. I was adopted at the age of five by my aunt and uncle, now mom and dad, after my biological father passed away. My biological mother was gravely ill and unable to care for me. Thankfully, she survived, but since then I’ve worked hard and pursued education as my way forward.

I graduated as the Salutatorian of my high school class and was granted the opportunity to attend the Georgia Governor’s Honors Program, a selective summer program for academically gifted students. I am also a Zell Miller Scholarship recipient, which pays for tuition, but it unfortunately doesn’t cover everything leaving other expenses such as fees, supplies, and books.

Despite receiving some financial aid, I’m facing a serious financial shortfall. My parents help out but are not able to cover the full cost. I’m struggling to afford basic living expenses like rent and food. I’ve taken on as much as I can on my own, but even with scholarships, it’s not enough to bridge the gap.

I’m asking for support to help me stay enrolled and focused on my education. Your contribution will help cover essential costs so I can continue building towards a bright future.

If you’re unable to donate, please share this with others who might be able to help on your socials. Every dollar matters. Updates will be provided on how your support has aided me in my journey. Thank you for taking the time to read this and considering supporting students like me.

Deepest thanks,

Cody Page
