Jordan Needs Help Paying For School
I entered Morehouse in the Fall of 2015 as a freshman on track to graduate in 2019. I was a very active student on campus and involved in multiple campus organizations and on the executive board of the LGBTQ student organization that had just brought the writer of Moonlight to speak on campus as our keynote speaker for Morehouse Pride Week 2017. I was flourishing at Morehouse but I couldn't bear putting my family deeper into debt with Morehouse's $47,000 a year tuition & board.
I now attend community college back home in Oakland, California to obtain an associate degree in business with Morehouse credits and an associate degree in sociology before I transfer to finish with bachelor's degree in sociology. I will use my education to build sustainable community based organization to eliminate inequality in my community and foster self-determination for my community.
Billionaire Robert F. Smith just announced he'd pay off the student loans of the graduating class of Morehouse 2019. I am now still saddled with over $50,000 in student debt from Morehouse and no Morehouse degree. Any help removing this heavy financial burden is appreciated.
