Dear Family and Friends,
I am a 3rd Grader at Mckinley Elementary and have been
nominated to represent my school and community at UC
Berkeley by attending the National Youth Leadership Forum
Pathways to STEM. I will join other motivated students from
around the country for an experiential hands-on program. I
have enclosed a sample of our itinerary for your review.
As you can see, this will be a powerful experience, enabling
me to interact with respected professionals in Engineering,
Medicine, CSI and STEM while building relationships with
students who will be my future colleagues. Attending this
program will allow me to further my interest in science and
mathematics. As you may know I’m already involved in AAU
Basketball and was recently awarded MVP!
Imagine if you had been given this opportunity for a
life-changing experience when you were in school and were
unable to participate for lack of funds—that is why I am
writing to you today. My participation in the program
depends on whether I can raise as much of the full tuition as
possible, a total of $3,545 through my parents,
family, friends, and neighbors.
Your support would be greatly appreciated. You may visit the Envision
Experience website for any further information.
