Friend,

Students who walk across the stage and receive their diplomas in the coming weeks are the future leaders of our community.

But rising tuition costs and reduced financial aid mean that more students than ever are turning to UNCF for support. Right now, we can only assist one in every 10 who apply—leaving nine talented, determined students without the help they need to achieve their dreams.

We’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 by midnight tonight so that even more exceptional students can secure their degrees and pursue their dreams as we celebrate the graduation season. But with hours left, we’re still just short of our goal.

Please, will you give now to help us reach our goal to remove barriers to UNCF students’ success and ensure they can live the futures they’ve worked so hard to build?

The impact of your support doesn’t end when a graduate lands their dream job. UNCF students often bring their skills and success back to the communities they come from, becoming mentors, community advocates, entrepreneurs and allies to students as they forge their own bright futures.

Your gift today will help UNCF students to take their hard-earned degrees in hand, take charge of the rest of their lives and provide new opportunities for their family, friends and neighbors.

Thank you for helping us to reach our ambitious goal today, because “A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.”^®

Gratefully,

UNCF
