I'm a 19-year-old Angolan (international) student in search of a better education. I don't come from a wealthy family but despite our economic status my family is supportive of the career I want to follow, and getting accepted into Suffolk University was/is a huge milestone for me. I applied in January of 2021 but due to lack of funding, I had to defer my enrollment to June of 2022. I've recently taken part in Reddit's "Permission to Billboard" contest and was the winner for NYC's submission, as a result, I have a billboard with my design up in NYC (I only added this information because that's the only link many of you have to me). Suffolk is an exceptional institution that offers everything I need to become a professional artist. I need help affording college because I haven’t been able to find art-related scholarships, and there’s even a greater scarcity due to the pandemic. In the future I want to be able to share my craft with the world and provide a platform starter artists can rely on. I must add that this is a private institution which makes it even more difficult to find sponsors or funding. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, I just want to have a brighter future. I only set my location to Boston, MA to help locals find my campaign. The estimated yearly tuition is $64K and with financial help, it's about $31K. So 64 x 4 = 256K.
