“Education has always been important to me, and receiving the Enterprise Holdings ROAD Scholarship has motivated me to work even harder and make the most of every opportunity I’ve been given. Knowing that organizations like UNCF believe in my potential inspires me to continue striving for excellence.”
Your donations mean more than tuition help to UNCF scholars. Your donations mean helping a student overcome difficult circumstances. Your donations mean giving a lift to students and their families when they encounter a financial roadblock. Your donations mean supporting the next generation of leaders in their pursuit of a college education—and their dreams. These are just a few stories about the impact of your donations to UNCF.
“For many first generation students like myself, having access to mentorship, resources, and a community that understands the journey makes all the difference.”
“UNCF has had a major impact on my college education… this year I will be graduating debt-free.”
“UNCF is helping make my dream possible by allowing me to focus on my school work, leadership, and academic pursuits, which all have made me a more competitive applicant for medical school.”
“My scholarship allowed me to clear my student balance, remain enrolled in my classes, and focus on my academic and professional development without the burden of financial stress.”
“My career goals are to get involved in education policy and use my expertise in journalism to share stories of all individuals, but especially those underserved by the education system.”
“My goal is simple. I want to inspire young girls to know that they have the ability to dream big no matter where they're from, race, color, ethnicity, no matter what it is. And I'm incredibly grateful to the UNCF for pushing me this far.”
“Studying in a new country taught me how important stability is, especially financial stability… that’s why support through the Fidelity Scholars Program and a chance to share my story with UNCF means so much to me.”
“Thank you, UNCF. Without you I probably would have run out of funding a long time ago. FAFSA only covers so much.”
“In the future I hope to be either a wealth manager or an investment banker, and thanks to my UNCF scholarship I’m able to pursue that.”
“I hope to become the great teacher for my students possible, and because UNCF believes in me, I am able to become the best me that I can be.”
“Growing up I attended schools where very few students actually looked like me and I often felt like I didn’t belong. Coming to an HBCU has been life changing… being surrounded by people who know what it’s like to grow up in that environment and understand my background has pushed me to grow in every way possible.”
Since 1944, UNCF has helped nearly half a million HBCU students earn college degrees. Help us help a half million more! Please make a gift today.
