Bryan Station High SchoolUniversity of KentuckyMechanical Engineering 4- Year UniversityAt homeFamily experiencing financial hardship, Receiving free/reduced lunch, SNAP benefits, Housing assistance, FAFSA did not fully cover college expensesYesThis College kit will open up opportunities for me that I have never experienced before, as well as give me a lead way financially so I would not have to depend on a job like I do now. A college kit would allow me to focus on myself and my education which is something I have had to choose to give up during high school. I go to school with kids that are fortunate enough to not have to work and still have cars, shoes, and time to think about their future financially and emotionally. Some students even have the financial ability to put money toward college or just spend it on fun things. While others like me have to worry about saving every dollar that we work for in order to pay for tuition & fees that come with a college education and others that are in a similar situation as you. Eventually leading me to my initial statement, as a student doing everything to pressure a college degree in mechanical engineering it is difficult to do so without the assistance of college kits like these, that are available for students like me. The kit allows us to go to college for our education without having to focus on expenses like Housing, Meal Plans, Textbooks, or any fees like Labs that could affect our financial statement. While that is the case for financial assistance, these kits also open opportunities that allow us to network with new students as well as very influential people that you may only meet in this environment. Which leads me to say that it's not only about the financial assistance, but also about the opportunities and experiences that the financial assistance allows you to endure.3.5School organizations, Community Service, Employment, Leadership programs

Frederick Douglass High SchoolNorthern Kentucky UniversityRadiologic Sciences 4- Year UniversityOn campusFamily experiencing financial hardship, Receiving free/reduced lunch, FAFSA did not fully cover college expensesYesI am finding it quite challenging to buy suff for college, save for tuition, and also save up for a car. I am more fortunate than other students in other ways but I am strugglings trying to find a balance and a way to afford everything. My family helps where they can but honestly we're not in a place where they can really help without it causing a disruption and that isn't what I want. This kit would help me get a better estimate on things that I may need to get in college later on because I am a first generation and I have no clue what to get other than looking up videos online because my parents don't really know either. I would be helping myself but also helping my roommate because we could both use the stuff. This kit would allow me to focus a little but more of my financial things in different areas which could really help. Like I said I am more fortunate in other areas so if I don't get this kit then at least I know it went to students that really needed it. Thank you for the opportunity. 3.8School organizations

Art Education has become something I adore but has been a struggle when it comes to affording and collecting all the materials I need for projects. Education and being a teacher are a severely underpaid profession, and any help I can get is appreciated and taken deeply to heart. I understand the positives and negatives, and I'm willing to push through the cons of education to pursue my dream to give students a place to be creative and feel safe. 3.5School organizations
