Make College a reality for low-income youth in Austin

I am raising money to provide needed college scholarships and coaching to students like Jorge Meraz that have overcome severe adversity to pursue a college degree. Despite facing hardship, he plans to study construction management at Colorado State University and assist his father in the family business.

I volunteer for Education First where we identify and support low-income seniors in high school who are determined to graduate from college. On average, an individual with a degree can earn over a million dollars more in a lifetime than someone with just a high school diploma.

Help me close the financial gap for underrepresented students by making sure next year's recipients won't see a drop in their scholarship amounts.

Thank you for your support!
