Crowdfunding Profile

This loanership will give me an incredible boost up that will set me apart from my peers, to not only be able to walk out with less debt, but to also be able to build my credit. I am blessed to have a full tuition scholarship to my university; but unfortunately, I still am left to pay exactly what an in-state student would have to for my room and board, because it's a liberal arts school. Though it's really expensive, it's granted me opportunities, I'm not sure a state school could. I've been able to participate in a semester long simulation of a corporation, where we actually sourced a product for a manufacturer and partnered with a local non-profit/foundation to give back. I've been able to take a class with students in India, and work with a non-profit in Pune, where we found ways to improve their processes and enhance their ability to make real social change. This education that I've been blessed with, has altered the way that I see the world, and how I want to move in it. I want to be a real agent of chance, and that's a tough thing to do with a lot of debt. PYT will give me the freedom to create the world that I wish to see by knocking down one less obstacle. In a world of racism, misogyny, bigotry, and wealth divide, I'll have one less thing to worry about; debt. On top of that, I'll be able to build my credit and learn what it feels like to pay for a line of credit. So, not only will I be able to fund my education but get a taste of the responsibility that comes with the real world.

Pursuing my Master’s in Engineering Management at San Jose State University has been a meaningful but challenging journey. Coming from a technical background in Mechanical Engineering, I wanted to expand into product and project management to build a career where I can create real impact through technology and strategy. As I approach graduation, this is a very critical phase for me. I am actively preparing for full-time roles, networking, and going through interviews, but at the same time, managing living expenses has been a constant pressure. This period requires focus and stability, but financial uncertainty makes it harder to fully dedicate myself to taking the right next step. This funding would give me that stability. It would allow me to focus on completing my degree and securing a role that aligns with my long-term goals instead of rushing into something out of financial necessity. It would also help me manage my basic expenses during this transition so I can stay focused on building a strong foundation for my career. As an international student, the timeline after graduation is very strict, which adds another layer of urgency. Having this support would make a real difference in how confidently I can navigate this phase and pursue the right opportunities. In the long run, my goal is not just to build a successful career, but also to support others who are in similar situations. Being in this position has given me a strong perspective on how financial barriers can impact education, and I want to be someone who contributes to solving that problem in the future.

My name is Anne, and I am a first year student at NYU. Growing up, my world was defined by the relentless struggle of my family to make ends meet. My parents worked tirelessly at a small farm, but their hard work still wasn't enough to secure our future. Yet, despite our financial situation, they never let go of one core belief: that education was the single greatest asset they could give their children. They instilled in me the idea that learning was a powerful, transformative tool.
