Hello, All. My name is Sydney Ligon, and I am a senior at Fisk University. I am entering my final year as a proud and hardworking student. I'm reaching out to ask for support as I work toward completing my education without the burden of additional student debt. I'm currently facing a critical financial challenge: in order to stay enrolled and on track for graduation, I must pay $3,000 upfront by June 30th for a required summer course. This is in addition to a larger $14,000 out-of-pocket cost I am projected to face for my final year.

Despite receiving several scholarships and working multiple jobs (up to four at a time) during school, I have exhausted all available funding and scholarship opportunities through my university. I've made it this far through determination, sacrifice, and perseverance- and I'm so close to the finish line. With your help, I can take this final step toward earning my degree and preparing for a brighter future. Any donation, large or small, or even just a share of my story, would mean the world to me. Thank you for helping me make my dream of graduating a reality.
