My name is Lisa Cardoso. I just got accepted into my dream school, NYU. Unfortunately, my family is not financially capable of supporting me while attending NYU, or covering my tuition, and I need your help to finish my college education. 

For the past two years, I have worked arduously and dedicated myself completely to achieving the best results possible in my classes, while working part-time and participating in activities on campus to achieve my goal of attending NYU. I intend to further my education and develop my management and entrepreneurial skills, so I can one day have my own business and manage my non-profit organizations supporting aspiring female entrepreneurs and victims of abuse.

I am currently in my last semester at Santa Monica College, before transferring to NYU, as a business administration major, with a 3.7 GPA. During my time at SMC, I have participated in several extracurricular activities, and kept myself engaged with my community. I am the publicity commissioner of our Student Government, student representative of the Human Resources and Title IX committee, member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society and part of the Scholars Program. 

Your help will not only allow me to continue my journey in furthering my education at NYU, but it motivates me to continue to push myself into achieving my goals. Your generosity can change my future. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate your thoughtful consideration.

I appreciate any amount you can give.

Thank you!
