Help Me Finish My Final Semester of My MBA at UCF

My name is Josh Siegel, and I am reaching out with both hope and humility as I work toward completing my MBA at the University of Central Florida. I am in the final semester of this journey, a journey that has stretched me, challenged me, and taught me more about resilience than I ever expected. I am closer than I have ever been to achieving a goal I have worked toward for years, yet I have reached a financial barrier that I cannot overcome on my own.

Despite careful planning and working throughout my program, my financial aid for this last semester has fallen short. Tuition and required fees have exceeded what I can cover, and I am facing the possibility of having to cancel/withdraw from this final semester.

Being this close and not being able to finish is something I never imagined, and it has been incredibly difficult to accept that the one thing standing between me and my degree is funding.

This support will go directly toward my remaining tuition, university fees, and the final materials I need to complete my coursework. Finishing this program means more to me than earning a degree. It represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and determination. It represents stability, opportunity, and the ability to build a better future for myself and for those I hope to serve through my career. Completing this semester would bring me one step closer to the life I have been working so hard to create.

If you are able to contribute, share my story, or simply offer words of encouragement, I would be deeply grateful. Every act of support brings me closer to crossing the finish line and achieving something I’ve poured my heart into. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping me complete this final step.
