Let's change a student's life forever!

Join me in supporting real change. Help Hispanic students accomplish their personal goals, and improve their families and communities through the Hispanic Development Fund Scholarship Program.

I was raised in the heart of KCK in a wonderfully diverse neighborhood called Argentine. Both of my parents punched their timecard everyday working hard in local factories to support our family. They encouraged me to study and prepare for college not knowing where the money would come from to pay the tuition. When I enrolled at KU and was accepted the costs was daunting for my family. But when I applied for the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and received the scholarship award along with matching dollars from KU; my dream seemed possible and within reach! My parents managed to send money each month to help pay for my dorm room and I worked two jobs, making ice cream cones at Dairy Queen and serving up breakfast at Country Kitchen to cover books and the rest of the bills. I still remember my mom bragging to her friends on the phone that I had received the Hispanic Development Fund Scholarship. I will never forget how the awards ceremony was such a proud moment for our whole family. Now, it's my turn to help others attend college and accomplish their personal goals.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for the Hispanic Development Fund Scholarship Program. Every donation counts, and no donation is too small. That's the power of crowdfunding - if we all give a little, together we can accomplish a lot.

Would you give even $20 to help me reach my goal? Your support will make a real difference! Together, we will use change to create change! #cambioparacambio
