Support Matthew's ACU Fall 2025 Semester

Hello! My name is Matthew Hogan! I recently graduated TJC with a 3.98 GPA in Associates of Arts: Musical Theatre in May , after taking four gap years since my homeschool graduation in 2019. I am accepted, and enrolled at ACU in Abilene for their theatre program and I''m committed to going. However , though I have half the cost of my bill covered, I'm a little short for this semester and would appreciate your support. Ever since I was little I've loved telling stories, and I want to glorify God in my passion. ACU is a great school to do just that! They have top notch instructors and facilities and could teach me a lot. The last two years at TJC were invaluable in building my theatre basics, and now, having been accepted into the theatre program at Abilene Christian University for the fall, I'm poised on the edge of an awesome opportunity for growth! But I can't make it without your support. Every donation gets me a step closer to achieving my dream of becoming a Christ centered theatre practitioner! My family believes strongly in staying out of debt. So, I made this fundraiser in an attempt to raise the 7k needed to cover room and board plus meal plan for the fall semester as well as the bit of tuition I couldn't afford after all scholarships and grants were taken into account. If, however, you cannot donate, just sharing the link is an invaluable contribution. Thanks to those who have donated so far, you're help is much appreciated:)

here are some pictures of theatre things I've done so far in my two years at Tyler Junior College, including some graduation pictures

as you can see, I've had many adventures and learned a ton at Junior College, and I have the chance to do that on a larger Scale at ACU, but I can't do it without your support. Whether that be a donation or a share, any support is greatly appreciated:)
