Isaiah’s tuition
Donation protected
Hi everyone, this was a last resort, because I hate to ask for anything, but as some of you know, Isaiah attends the Next steps program at Vanderbilt. It is a program for special needs adults that offers them an opportunity to attend college, and have that college experience while teaching them life skills, and focusing on something they would like to do career wise. At the end of the four years the goal is to get them employed in a meaningful career, after they have had the chance to experience college among and like their non disabled peers. In addition to taking regular college classes in an area of their interest, the students participate in job shadowing and internships at different places of employment to learn about different careers and vital job skills.
The reason I created this gofundme is because I ran into an issue with a couple of the grants that Isaiah was eligible for, and he has been left with a balance of $3,975, after financial aid, and after the grant he was able to get, and after what I was able to pay. As a single parent, I have exhausted every option available and have paid as much as I can towards it. His tuition per semester is about $10,000. He does not qualify for any traditional school loans because of the type of program he is in, as he is a non-degree seeking student. This is an excellent program and opportunity for him, and he absolutely loves it. We are on track financially for the spring semester with his grants, and financial aid, but if his remaining balance from the fall semester isn’t paid by Tuesday he will be dropped from the program. Please consider helping out if you can. Every little bit will help. Payments can also be made directly to the school. If you’d like to do that, please message me for a link to pay them directly. If you can’t help financially, please say a little prayer that we can figure this out and please share. He is such an amazing guy, always willing to help anyone, and a friend to everyone. I really hope we can make this happen for him. Thank you all ❤️
