Support Mekhi Kelly's Dream at Norfolk State

Hi, my name is Mekhi Kelly, and I’m proud to announce that I’ve been accepted to Norfolk State University, where I’ll be majoring in Business and Entrepreneurship!

This opportunity means everything to me — it’s the first step toward building a successful future and launching a business that creates jobs and gives back to the community.

Over the past year, I’ve been balancing a full plate:

• Full-time high school student

• Football & Basketball athlete

• Part-time worker at Amazon to save for college

It wasn’t easy, but I stayed focused because I believe education is the key to unlocking a brighter future. My passion lies in business and entrepreneurship, and I dream of starting a company that makes a positive impact — not just for me, but for those around me.

Despite all my efforts — applying for scholarships and saving every dollar — I’m still facing a financial gap. Here’s the breakdown of my college expenses at Norfolk State:

• Tuition: $11,080

• Room & Board: $10,958

• Books & Living Expenses: $3,525

• Total Needed: $25,563

That’s why I’m asking for your support. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story, every action helps bring me closer to making this dream a reality. Your support means more than words can say — you’re not just investing in my education; you’re investing in a future entrepreneur who’s committed to giving back.

Thank you for believing in me. I can’t wait to proudly represent the Spartan family at Norfolk State!

With gratitude,

Mekhi Kelly
