– Demya – Emmanuel CollegeI would first like to express how thankful I am for the generous support in helping fund my college education. I am a senior now and your help has been a big part in shaping my academic journey and has paved the way for my success. Thanks to your generosity, I've been able to focus on my studies, become a member of valuable clubs, and build a foundation for my future career. As I complete my last semester, I think about how you have not only lightened my financial burden but also fueled my motivation to strive for excellence! My family and I are and will forever be grateful for your contribution to my education and the opportunities it has provided - thank you always!
Aryanah - Framingham State“In a world that is run by money, many doors have closed in my face. Funderburg Scholars has opened those doors and allowed me to chase my dreams. Since money is always a problem, with Funderburg Scholars, I was able to graduate. Thank you for making my dream possible.”
– Kiah - Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts“I am blessed with everything I need, I am working hard for everything I want, and most of all, I am thankful for the support. Without Funderburg Scholars, none of it would be possible. Funderburg Scholars has allowed me to be stress free when it comes to expenses and more motivated when it comes to my future. I couldn’t be more appreciative of this program!”
– Anissa – U Mass LowellI have made the Dean’s list both terms! This semester I received two A’s, one A- and lastly a B! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to make me successful. I appreciate you more than ever!
– Nicole, Framingham StateI just wanted to take the time and thank Funderburg Scholars for helping me with my school fees. I really appreciate what you have done for me and my family. It really means a lot. If it wasn’t for Funderburg Scholars, I honestly wouldn’t know what I would have done. Thank you!
– Ionya, Worcester StateNeither my mom nor I have the funds to pay my bill right now. It’s really becoming a huge struggle on my mom with three of my siblings in college… I really appreciate all your help and the Funderburg program’s help because it’s really lifted a huge rock off of my family's shoulder. I don’t know if I would still be in college if I didn’t get this help!
– Ashley, U Mass DartmouthComing from the inner city of Boston I would never in my life think I would be in college right now aiming for my goals and striving to be successful in life. Things don't come easy - you really have to work hard. Loretta never doubted me but always gave me support and words of encouragement that kept me motivated. I am so grateful for Funderburg Scholars.
– Shakeen, U Mass DartmouthFinancially, I was having a lot of problems keeping up with payments. I lost my job due to my disability and I was using most of my check to keep my son in school. I was in a financial crisis. I almost lost my apartment and fell behind with my other responsibilities. Without your help I don't know what we would have done. I can't thank you enough. You have helped to lift a heavy burden off my shoulders. I prayed to God and my prayers were answered. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for allowing us to know that there are some good people out there in the world that truly care about others.
