Friend,

As talented high school seniors make significant strides toward college acceptance, and as exceptional college students return to another semester of success, we’re reaching out for your support to help them seize this moment and overcome any barriers to education.

At the beginning of Shavondria Jackson’s educational journey, her situation looked bleak. She had faced lifelong financial struggles—including homelessness—and it seemed like a college education was impossible. But thanks to a UNCF scholarship, she was able to attend Xavier University—a UNCF-member HBCU—and graduated as a Fulbright scholar. Today, her success perfectly embodies the impact that a UNCF supporter like you can make.

Friend, your life-changing contribution today is crucial. Here's why:

1. Your gift provides essential scholarships and resources directly to students like Shavondria and countless others, who overcome unimaginable obstacles in their journey.
2. Your gift will be used right away to help cover critical expenses such as textbooks, housing, and tuition, ensuring students can focus on their education.

Thank you for your support,
