College Funding in USA – International Student from UK

Dear reader,

My name is Kylie. I am originally from Zimbabwe but moved to the UK when I turned 2 in 2002. I am a student (18) who has finished her A Levels of Art & Design, German and French and was accepted into New York University for my undergraduate studies. It was always my dream to pursue higher education in the US, where I can pursue my interest within the arts on a broader scale with no limits. New York University accommodates that, and their programme of study fits me best of any other institution. As well as that, I have always been encouraged to go global, and I believe going global is also what helps me thrive. I worked hard over the past couple of years with my college applications to get to where I am now.

The one barrier is funding. 
I love creating. I produce paintings, particularly paintings portraying women in a powerful light. My paintings are also often cultural, reflecting my African/Zimbabwean heritage. I also write, particularly poetry of various themes, particularly poems aiming to empower people using elements of Earth and recalling on history. I use social media platforms and my website blog to portray my creations and I am currently working on a poetry book collection which I hope to publish this year, as well as my first fiction novel based on black american history, a 95000 word manuscript in progress based on research, delving into African history, interviewing others with insight and inspiration from some of my favourite authors within the genre. As much as I love admiring and learning from others’ work, I always desire to create. I learnt an incredible amount stepping out of my comfort zone and putting myself into others’ shoes when writing the novel; it also made me feel even more connected to my identity. Discussing world issues is extremely important to me and a way I enjoy doing it is through creating. Helping others is important to me, so I use my creations in hopes to empower my peers and to keep connected with others, particularly women of colour. Aside from my personal endeavours, I believe education has exposed me to things I have not been exposed to myself, with irreplaceable opportunities. I am looking forward to all the opportunities New York City has to offer and getting to know people from various backgrounds.
I always go for what my heart wants and I know this time it is New York University.
I was accepted into NYU Steinhardt on March 30th with an anticipated major of Studio Art. I had not felt such relief and joy in a long time, it was what I needed to end the college application and decision process on a joyful note. I applied to universities in the US in hopes I would obtain sufficient aid because my parents cannot afford to cover all of my tuition. I reviewed New York University’s aid offer of $17,800 for my first year which is barely a third of the cost of attendance. The estimated total cost of attendance is $78,744 but with my scholarship the total estimate is $60,944.
I am still trying, but I am struggling to find other sponsorships and land scholarships to help cover for at least one year which at the moment is all I need and I am not ready to let this go. I don’t know what to do, due to Covid-19 some opportunities have been postponed but I am still persevering.
I am counting on myself to go and my peers who have supported me want to see me at New York University and the thought of having to let go is upsetting. I am doing everything I can to make sure I get there.
I am due to apply for my form 1-20 soon but I am still running short on sponsoring options in order to obtain my f-1 visa.
I thought I would reach out here as well, for anyone willing to help. Any amount of contribution would be massively appreciated and would help put me at great ease!
I really appreciate the help
Yours faithfully,
Kylie Marume

€800 is all I need. And a job. Please give me a job.

Dear reader,

I guess we’re all in difficulties time by now.

For you to be willing to help, while you probably face obstacles yourself is very admiring. Therefore thank you in advance.

I’m a struggling unemployed student with no income and barely money in the bank.

My parents are facing difficulties as well. They are working, to be precise, in the health department as nurses. They are brave, but even as nurses, it’s hard to get through the tons of bills piling up.

Not to mention how they have to get their hands on the needed supplies themselves. It’s frustrating and almost surreal, and i feel more and more like a burden.

I’ve bills of my own but no work to take care of it. I’ve been following an online course to become a copywriter. That job seems fun, I can use my writing talent and if I succeed hopefully, I will end up with a job I like where I get paid well.

It costs €300 tho, and I’ve only 36 euro in total in my bank. Yes, I’m not even kidding. That low, and I had to lend money, but now I’ve 300 euro of debt.

On top of that I was one of those people that bought a phone with a monthly payment of 50 euro instead of just buying the total price right away. That mistake backfired hard, so I want to quit that contract and just pay the price of 200 euro instantly and get rid of the burden.

I’m also one of those people that bend over pressure when those on the streets approach you about donating for good causes. I love helping out, but I can’t give what I don’t have, and with those donations I’ve put myself in troubles, but I’m glad I helped out thousands of people neverthless.

So the €800 will go to the €300 tuition fees, the €200 phone bill, and the €300 of debt. If you feel willing to give more, the rest will go to helping my parents out with buying decent protection.

 

The most important part is that I need a job. I need an income, something I can rely on to pay my bills with. My only talent is writing. I speak English, Dutch and French, but im not good in writing in French, only talking. I can draw but that isn’t really a talent since I’ve had to learn myself how to draw. I dance too, and believe it or not but I was like a stick before, but now I dance pretty well due to practicing a lot. I’m practicing singing as well. I’ve gotten decent. Not amazing, but decent.

If any of these skills can help me out to get a job, then please help me out!

You can donate through my PayPal which is https://www.paypal.me/nekorian

I truly hope I can be able to pay you back one day, when I get a stable monthly loan.

Need help for my tuition fee

Hello,

I’m an international student in Australia. I thought that when I come here I’ll be able to get a part-time job to support myself, but I arrived here in the worst of times. I got here just 2 months ago, and the day after I arrived was the day they decided to have a lockdown. Ever since then, I’ve never had a job. I’m paying rent, and it’s almost time for my second semester, and I have no idea where to get money for my tuition. Please, I need anyone’s help. My tuition for next semester is 7,300 AUD. I have around a month and a half to figure out how to pay for my tuition. I’d gladly accept any amount. I can’t even go home even if I wanted to because my home country is on lockdown. There are no flights going home. I have no choice. I have to continue my studies. I feel like I’m at my lowest point.

I can’t sleep properly at night. I open my computer for the whole day every day looking for any kinds of jobs, but I’ve only heard from a few out of the hundred I’ve applied. It’s really hard right now, and I understand that a lot of us are experiencing this. I have no one to go to otherwise I wouldn’t have come here. I’m glad I saw this website, and I’m trying it now because why not? Someone might help me here. I’m not going to lose hope, not now. I’m so close to achieving my dream. I should keep on carrying on. Your help will not go to waste. I’m very hard-working. I just need someone’s support right now.

My parents don’t have the capacity to help me right now. My dad has been unemployed for years. My mom is the only one supporting us right now, but she lost her job because of the pandemic. She has been jobless for two months now. I have two younger brothers who are also going to school. They are barely surviving back at home. They think of me as someone who might be able to help them, but I can’t even help myself. I am no relying on the kindness of strangers.

I’m really hoping for your understanding and support.

The photo attached is the amount of my total tuition, but I just need the tuition for next semester which is 7,300 AUD.

College Fund

Hi! My name is KJ. I’ll be going to college in about a year and I’ve been trying to save up for it, but money is tight and has been for a few years now so any time I have money saved up we need gas or food or this bill is going to go unpaid. And my mom would never ask for money from me or take it from my savings, but I just can’t sit there with enough money to fix the problem and not help. So here I sit with very little saved up and a long way to go.  I plan on going to college out of state because no college near me supports the major I want and I can get better financial aid for the school aspect of college. However, to get there and live there I need to purchase a car, buy basic living essentials, get a laptop, and cover the first semester or so of costs that scholarships will not cover so I can focus on getting a good job instead of just any job. I do have a job currently, but I’m a high school kid in a college town so it doesn’t pay well even though it is the best job I can get. I’ve done the math. Many, many times.  With the amount of money I spend monthly to help out around the house I’m never going to be able to save up enough, especially with just a year to do so. I’d need to work 30+ hours a week during school and 40+ hours a week on breaks. And that is without factoring in how much I need for my family. I do not want to start this next chapter of my life scrambling to figure out how to get to school, much less pay for it. I’m not asking for one person to fund my entire college experience from bachelor’s to doctorate, I’m just hoping that a few people will be willing to give me something to stand on before I have to do all of this on my own.  I need help from someone else so I can still help out at home with the money I make at my job while being able to get somewhere with my savings. Anything helps. Absolutely anything. I just want to say thank you, for reading this far and in advance if you do decide to help. I couldn’t be more grateful. Have a wonderful day.

Donation to Pay my tuition fees.

Hi All.

My name is Ashim Adhikari. I’m currently living in Sydney, Australia as an international student. I’m here to build my knowledge and education in the field of Information Technology, precisely in the field of mobile application development. I’m currently studying in one of the college in Sydney ( Academy of Information Technology Sydney). Due to Covid-19 the administration have started giving us online classes. For the couple of weeks I was able to join the classes but after that my courses have been removed from my online portal. And the reason for this is me not being able to pay my fees i.e. AUD 7200. I’m trying to fetch that much amount from my country with the help of my parents but due to current crisis our country is in total lockdown as well so I’m unable to do that. I don’t have much savings right now to pay that much of fees. I really don’t want to go back without completing my course. If that happens all my dreams will be gone with that. Although it’s not anyone responsibility and liability I’m just asking for little help from everyone. I know that there’s crisis going all around the world but people like me are hard hit in this country. While everyone is getting their benefit we are not getting any support from the government and we don’t expect anything as well. We all have known the fact that we are just cash cows for this country. It was heartbreaking the way we were told to go back home if we can’t afford to be in this country in this situation of crisis. While all the international borders around the world are closed I’m unable to do that as well. I don’t know much about the politics of this country as I’m here just to study and go back one day but the people I’ve met here are really nice and kind. I just need that kindness just for this time. If anyone can donate me that would be great but if one cannot do that you can at least pray for me and I would be more than happy. This is my last hope to remain in this country and study. I hope I’ll get necessary help very soon.

Thank you.

Tuition Assistance

Greetings to whoever reads this, and thank you for taking the time to do so.

My name is Hannah and I am 23. I currently reside in northern MN working as a paraprofessional at a small school district. To be honest, I never through things would get to this point (as I’m sure you all have probably read >1000 times), but for me, I do not know what else to do. It has never been my nature to ask for help, let alone ask for money. I’ve always been someone who has wanted to do things for myself, but here I am, asking for the help that I’ve been dreading.

I have a school loan that needs to be  payed off by May 1st in order to continue my degree. I’m a semester away from getting my Licensed Alcohol and Drug counseling degree and I’ve never been more proud of myself for getting so close to this accomplishment. I’d be the first person in my family to get a college degree.

I’ve had financial issues come up the past couple of months that have impeded on getting this bill payed off. I needed new timing chains for my car, which wiped out my entire savings account in repairing that and I had to get necessary dental work done that took my stimulus check away. I have been paying towards my bill, $200 a month (all that I can afford right now) but at that rate, it won’t get paid off for 2 years.

I know there are people out there who need more help than I do, but I just wanted to give this a go, and see if there are people out there who want to support education. Besides having this job as a paraprofessional, the past 5 years of my life has been dedicated to those who struggle from addiction and chemical dependency. I want to be able to help those individuals at a greater capacity by finishing my degree and doing more.

Thank you for your time and please stay safe during this trying time across the globe.

Best,

Hannah

College Student Crisis!

Thanks for tuning in, it’s your local (or not so local) college student here! The past few weeks have consisted of the world crumbling to pieces and contracting the one and only, Covid-19. The past few weeks have also consisted of my hours being cut in HALF because I work in a local sandwich shop and no on wants to leave their safe haven and chance disease for a sandwich. The brave souls who do dare to go out however do tip generously, but not enough to fix the dark, empty hole, that is my bank account. Here’s my cry for help: my car went and broke down, I had to get several things fixed before I could drive it, this situation cost me $1,100. I am also behind on my school payments (I pay monthly). I am behind on my school payments because of my car needing to be fixed, and also a lack of hours at my job. My hours went from 40 a week, to about 18-20. I am incredibly grateful to still be able to go to work in these trying times as I am well aware that many cannot, however the circumstances are not entirely in my favor. Although we are all social distancing and are doing school work online, I will eventually have to face my director who will be looking for all of my wonderful missed payments. My ultimate goal is to graduate school without being more in debt than I am already going to be, if I somehow become able to pay for my next months, my ultimate goal will succeed. My family is in no shape to help me, and now they are in even less shape to help me because most of them lost their jobs due to Coronavirus. Seeing as, I’m a student and my family claimed me on their taxes, the government doesn’t see me as one who is in need of a stimulus check! Even though my family claimed me on their taxes, there’s nothing I do not buy for myself (my car, my phone, groceries, I even pay for the WiFi, and a portion of the rent. Etc,,,). All that being said, desperate times call for desperate measures. Feel free to help my empty pockets, this 18-year old girl is the most broke she’s ever been, is considering selling her soul, and is in need of $1700.

The attached photo is me and my car that just cost me ALL of my money!

Thanks for reading my crisis letter.

Lost my job, paying for college

Hello! I am Ariana and I am a hard worker. I have worked almost full time since middle school, and with the virus, I have lost my job. I cannot get another one until at least June. I am 18 years old and attending university next year. My parents are not in my life financially, so I am in charge of paying for my entire tuition. My tuition is 24,000 dollars per year. I will be receiving a wonderful education, but it is expensive. I have been saving up for years, and not being able to work, I will not have enough money to go to school in the next few months. I pay for my own car, insurance, food, and clothes. I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given in life, but I know I am cut out for more. I cannot afford college without help at this point. I was so close to being able to afford it by myself.

I earn good grades at school and take good care of my pet rabbit, Winnie. My dream is to become a veterinarian and be able to spend time with and help animals. I hate having to ask for help. This virus has caused a lot of problems, but I have done my best to remain positive. During the quarantine, my mental health has declined, and I have not begun to think about the prices of treatment. My brother’s medication and food is more important. I am glad that I have gotten to spend more time with him, but I am nervous that I am not as financially stable as I used to be. With expenses still coming in and no income, I am losing money at an alarming rate. I know that with the help of someone like you, I will study harder than I’ve ever studied at university and work harder than I’ve ever worked.

If anyone out there is kind enough to lend a helping hand, I promise you, it will mean the world to me. Even a small amount gets me so much closer to my dream.  I always treat others with kindness just as others have done to me. I will always remember the people that help me and never lose sight of what’s important when I am a veterinarian. Thank you. If you cannot help, I understand and I wish you all the best.

Thank you.  paypal.me/arianaaldape1

DONATION FOR TUITION FEES

Hello everyone, my name is Kenneth Isaac. I am 21 years old this year and I am from Malaysia. I would make a humble request for a donation of 500USD so that I can proceed to pay my tuition fees which is due next week Monday. I have to pay in order for me to sit for my mid semester exams. The reason why I am requesting here is because, due the current pandemic COVID-19, the Malaysian government has issued everyone to stay at home. A lot of people lost their jobs and income, including my father and now we are sustaining ourselves with the savings we have. However, we are unable to constrain ourselves to pay my tuition fees as it would be a huge burden for my family. Also, I can only apply for a student loan in June which means I still have to pay the fees for this semester. The reason why I did not apply for the student loan earlier is because my previous university which I discontinued deducted money from my student loan for two extra semesters. I took the trouble to go all the way to that university to solve the problem and they took one week to return the money. In order for me to reapply the loan, I had to pay the balance of the previous loan which was about RM7000 which was initially RM15000 due to the extra deduction by my previous university. Since they took one week to settle and by the time I settled the balance, my current university told that the due date to apply for the loan had exceeded and I could only apply in June for the second semester onwards, which caused a huge headache for me and my family. Initially, based on my father’s earnings, we thought we could this manage to pay for this semester, but like I said just now, it is very hard for us now. Honestly, I have never pleaded or asked for money from other people before this, but my family’s current condition left me no choice but to do so. Please help me and my family with the 500USD donation that I can use to pay the said fees. I would like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart in advance for your generosity and kindness. I hope one day I will be able to help someone else in need. Thank you.

Out of Work due to Coronavirus, Need help with bills, please!

I am a 19 year old college student. I am a babysitter/mother’s helper, and due to the recent outbreak and global pandemic of the Coronavirus, I am unable to work. I pay $80 a month for my phone bill, $370 for car insurance, and have student loans that I pay down each month. I have my tuition coming up for my fall semester at school which is about $3,000, and at this rate, I may not be able to work for the next 2 months or more. I have paid for almost everything I own since I was 14 years old and started working. I bought my own car when I turned 17, and have been completely self-sufficient with paying my own bills and buying anything I need. So, as you can imagine, I haven’t been able to save much since my weekly paycheck is only about $100. Writing is my passion, and within the last two weeks, I self-published my own book called “Heartbreak and Healing,” that is available for sale on Amazon, but I am unable to market it as much as I wish I could, and my sales from the book do not go into my account until 6o days after the book ships. In addition, the actual fees of making the book, ordering proof copies, and being able to sell it put a dent in my financials. I also have a hospital bill from 2018 that I have been unable to pay in full, and my parents have been trying to help me pay it off, but they are also treading water with money right now.  I have a credit card and have been trying to use that to buy necessities, but I know I’ll have to pay that money back, which makes me not want to touch my card at all. I have work I need done on my car (my brakes are bad and I need new tires and an oil change), but all I’m seeing is my savings deplete. People don’t realize how lucky they are to have jobs that they can still do at home and remain getting a paycheck during this time. I know that right now is a difficult time for everyone, but I ask those of you who can help to please do so. For those of you who have seen and read this, I already thank you for your time in hearing my situation out. For those of you who can help me in any way possible, I appreciate your generosity greatly. Thank you all, stay healthy, and stay safe!

Unemployed, young & struggling

Hi! My name is Dayna, I guess I’ll explain to you my story.

So, I live in Australia right now and ever since I was young all I’ve had going for me are my brains (only the textbook kind). I’ve enjoyed learning and studying for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately though, I haven’t had the best upbringing.

I was born in Zimbabwe, and as most people know, saying it isn’t the best place to live is an understatement. My parents, although neglectful and cruel did the most amazing thing for my two brothers and I. They realised Zimbabwe had no future and they packed up their shit and left within 3 months of their decision. They sold what they could and gave away the rest. We landed in Australia with $5000 to our family name and a small suitcase each.
They seem like lovely parents right? Wrong.

They kicked me out of home at the age of 16. With only 3 years behind me in Australia, I lived with anyone who would take me in. I continued public high school, making ends meet by myself. Working 2 retail jobs and a fast food restaurant (still am), getting paid minimum wage and having to keep myself and my one brother afloat. The other stayed with my parents, he’s still a cute baby, you see.

Long story short, I love school and I love the idea of attending university to better myself and hopefully get a high paying job to end this seemingly endless cycle of living off of the bare minimum. This is where my earlier mentioned ‘brains’ come in clutch. Last year I graduated from high school. A dream I have strived for, for years. However, here’s no time to waste celebrating since I’m already on my next journey.

University. I’m really hoping to study psychology. It’s been an interest of mine since I was kicked out. Not only am I generally intrigued by the human mind, it’ll help me understand people like my parents and hopefully prevent people like them from doing what they did to me.

Now, Australia has an amazing program where universities’ fees can be covered until you earn over a certain threshold. However My brother and I aren’t Australian citizens yet.
This is hopefully where you can come in clutch. Since we aren’t citizens yet, I’ll have to pay my way through university while also paying for my brother’s primary school education.

I’m not usually one to beg, but please, please please please donate anything you can. And please have faith in my ability to dedicate myself to not only my brother but my studies.

Thank you for your time and generosity,

Dayna

Help ! Tuition is preventing me from graduating Nursing School

My name is Elizabeth. I am a single 28 year old woman. I am not married. I have no children. My father passed away when I was 24. He was unable to leave me anything as we didn’t have much to begin with, and what he did leave, my mother kept for herself although they had been separated for 17 years.My mother has been absent most my life and struggles with bipolar disorder. She is difficult to have a relationship with due to the fact that she does not take her prescribed medications to manage her mental illness.I do not have any family support other than my sister who is not that close to me.

I currently work as a CNA on an oncology unit at a hospital. I have been a CNA for 6 years and always had hopes of working to better myself and become a nurse.

I am currently in school to get a bachelors of science in nursing. I am three months away from graduating and I have put my entire life into this to make a better future for myself, in addition to helping others.

I have not been able to pay my tuition in full due to only being able to work part time and participate in nursing school full time. I have sacrificed a lot in order to work towards the goal of obtaining a BSN. I have ruined my credit in the process. I had to sacrifice and prioritize certain bills in order to ensure I have a room to live in, a car to drive, and food to eat while perusing nursing school full time. I have done the best I can in all aspects.

As you can see from the image I posted, I have a very expensive tuition. I have federal loans I have taken out in addition to financing what was not able to be covered by loans. Tuition options is who I make my tuition payments through.I have been able to make small payments every month on my tuition as you can see in the billing statement.However, the past due amount is now holding me back from continuing and my school will not work with me. I must pay $1500 outright by April 3rd or I am out of the program.

Being 3 months away from graduation, I am so close to finishing. I am so sad, frustrated, and upset that $1500 is possibly holding me back from graduation.

Nursing school is the HARDEST thing I have ever done in my life. I am so close to graduation. I am completely devastated that money is what is holding me back. I am in desperate need of financial assistance.

So please help me. Any donation is greatly appreciated. I have no one to loan me the money. I have awful credit from not being able to pay my bills during this stressful time in school. I do not have a co-signer for a loan. I am $1500 away from a changed life. You would literally help change my entire life and I would forever be grateful.

Long shot but please help me

Last year I lost my uncle and dear friend to suicide. He took his own life on new years eve. This has totally devastated me and my entire family. In the April of that year me and my wife found out we were pregnant and there was a glimmer of light for me. We unfortunately lost the baby and this and my uncle passing has totally turned my life upside down. Soon after all this I was told I would be losing my job as I had to much time of with depression etc..

I am struggling daily with it all and have totally lost all my confidence and drive. I rarely sleep and am constantly worried about everything. I get very down watching my wife have to be the sole provider it breaks my heart and we are very much struggling. I am really really struggling to find a job that would give me the confidence to get back on my feet again and get my life back. Being like this everyday is truly horrible. All I want to do is go back to college and retrain in something that I actually want to do and something that will get me a recognised qualification so I can gain a decent job when I leave. I would really like to become a personal trainer but cant afford to do so because of fees and the cost of living in between studying. I know it’s a big ask but it’s a last resort for me to try and ask for your generosity and help. I would love to live a normal life again without having to battle through depression and anxiety everyday and constantly feeling scared and worthless. I ask you to please help change both my life and that of those I affect with my depression and mental health probs. Its not fun being sick and not being able to see a way out for yourself. I have heard people say that depression is not an illness. I beg to differ as it is totally ruined the last few years of my life. So I am asking any of you kind generous people to please consider my situation and help me if you can.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and God bless you whether you can help me or not..

Take care

School loans

After graduating with a bachelors I knew I needed to go to graduate school to help my family financially however, grad school has taken my financial worries to the next level. I already had student loans because of my bachelors degree, but graduate school added a significant amount to that. I am a teacher and most of my paycheck goes to my student loans, this has consumed me. I feel like I work just to pay them back. I am asking for a donation of $100,000 to pay my loans back and get my life back on track. Not only is this affecting me but my personal kids are also suffering because of my financial problems. Currently we don’t have a home, we are living with relatives due to the fact that we don’t have the financial stability to even rent a place. I want to be able to pay my loans off so I can provide my kids with a place to live and stability in their lives. When I have my student loans paid off I will be able to provide them with a better life and a mom that is stress free to focus on them. I will also be able to save for their future. Please find it in your heart to help a family in need and a mom trying to get her life back on track.

Change My Future

My name is Jazmine Lynn. I am 20 years old. I am a dancer in Beverly-hills CA. I have created this page so that my future doesn’t have to include dancing for tips.

At the age of 15 I was raped by my stepfather. I told my mother and she kicked me out of her house for “seducing her husband.” My biological father took my mothers side, so I had no one to turn to. For about a year I couch surfed. On my 16th birthday I went and applied for as many jobs as i could. I ended up working at 3 different places.

I maintained 3 jobs and graduated with honors at the age of 18. The day after I graduated I was hired at a gentleman’s club where I currently work. This job has helped me financially in more ways than one.

However, I don’t want to dance forever. I want a future that doesn’t involve 6 inch heals and a pole. I would love nothing more than to go to college and create a better life for myself. So, I am begging for help.

Please help me fund my dream of going to college. I want to show my parents that even though they didn’t believe me or believe in me I will have a better life. All donations are greatly appreciated. Even if you don’t donate, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my story.
