Dear family and friends, My name is Jair Abisay Magallan-Garcia, and I am a Junior at the College of Mount Saint Vincent.

I have been given the chance to win $500 to help pay my tuition. I need 8 to 10 family members or friends to donate as little as $5 to help me qualify to win $500. Your donation vouches for my dedication to earn my degree. By earning this scholarship and receiving your donation, I am empowered to graduate with far less student loan debt.

I am a Business Management major, with a minor in Communications. During the Spring semester in 2017 I will be doing an Athletic Internship in which I will be learning how the Athletic Departments works with the NCAA. I worked at the fitness center while I was at my previous school, California State University, San Bernardino. This past year I also worked NCAA games for various sports such as Volleyball, Basketball, etc. Community Service is very important to me. Each year I help with programs with my church that provide meals for families in need. I am currently the proud captain of my soccer team here at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. I have received awards such as player of the week and 2nd team all conference. I have also volunteered refereeing soccer games in my area for younger children who inspire to play collegiate soccer one day. Soccer as well as my education is my passion. It is my goal to share my love of soccer with the next generation.

Thank you all who visit my profile. My education means everything to me. I will not only be the first to graduate college, but I will prove how immigrants who risk their lives coming to a different country for a better life can make it  I refuse to give in or give up. I will continue to work hard in my studies and pursue my dream of graduating from the Mount! I ask you to please help me make this possible. I appreciate all donations. God Bless!
