Support Fatiat's Dream to Finish at Howard

My name is Fatiat Mustapha and I'm currently a junior marketing major at Howard University. Recently, I was hoping to receive a Foreign Language African Studies (FLAS) scholarship worth $15k from Howard University; however, due to changes in Congress, they're no longer granting me the scholarship. Unfortunately, with the increasing reduction in aid I'm receiving from the school and from constant disappointment from outside scholarships, combined with the increasing cost of tuition and living, I'm unable to keep up with the demands, causing me to look into transferring to my home state school.

Howard University was the only school I applied to after high school as I had no desire to go anywhere else, and I was excited to be in a new city, immersed in HBCU culture around a community that I belong to but didn't grow up around, being from Arizona. It breaks my heart that I might potentially have to leave my dream school behind.

Even though I'm disappointed in the way Howard is going about treating the students during this difficult time, I've already spent the last 2 years there establishing myself little by little and creating my village that I can't even imagine leaving behind.

I'm asking anyone who is in a position to help, even if it's just $1, to donate to my cause and help me finish up these last 2 years of my education at Howard. My goal is to raise enough money for my enitre Junior year that way I'm able to come back and have more time late to finance my senior year.
