Hi, my name is DeBraya Edwards. I am a proud first-generation college student and a dedicated student-athlete working hard to earn my degree. Balancing academics and athletics has been a life-changing opportunity, but it also comes with challenges. Because of the demands of my sports, I am unable to work while in school, which has made me rely heavily on financial aid to cover tuition and living expenses.

Unfortunately, I’ve now exhausted all of my financial aid options. Without additional support, I will not be able to continue my education—even though I’ve come so far.

Being the first in my family to attend college means everything to me. I want to graduate not only for myself, but also to pave the way for others in my family and community who look up to me. With your support, I can cover tuition, books, and essential school costs so I can remain enrolled, continue competing as an athlete, and achieve my dream of earning a degree.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for believing in me, supporting my journey, and helping me cross the finish line—both on the court, track and in the classroom.
