Hi everyone! 

My name is Nico and a college student in Maryland. I am looking for help paying for my college expenses as rates are always increasing, and my eligibility to for grant/ FASFA are not even able to cover half of what I need to pay. I interned full time over the summer in the field of my studies, saving a nice chunk of money ($5k) and I am still working to help keep the cost to a minimum. Here is some more about who I am:

I started studying at a local community college with the goal of earning my associates degree. In fact, I am very close to that goal; I just finished my final exams and waiting for the result, after which I will graduate with a concentration in Computer Science. My next goal is to attend a four year-institution here in Maryland for the remaining 2-3 years I have. My major planned... Computer Science and Mathematics, and I am trying to apply for a combined BS/MS program, in case you were wondering, I have a GPA of 3.41, so this will surely help getting into my program of choice.

You may ask, how was I able to finance my Community College. Well, I started working in a french bakery and stayed put for over a year and a half before getting my internship. Working 5 days/ week in the kitchen( from 5:30 AM - 12:30 PM) and Saturdays ( from 4:30 AM - 1:30 AM) at a local farmers market which permitted me to pay for school and cover all my expenses. I still have limited funds and transfering to a four-year institution is will be great but difficult, this is where I ask for help.

Obviously University costs more than a local community college (more than double) so I am kindly asking you to help me pay my way through college so that I can earn my BS in Computer Science and Mathematics. I wish to raise at least half of my expences in the next couple of months, doing so will alleviate my fiancial worry.  I welcome you to be part of my success story as you will not be disappointed. 

For your reward:

I have a Honda Nighthawk 250cc that I do not use anymore, ever since I bought a car. I decided that whoever donates the most over $2000 will get it with a letter of appreciation. and for donations of $25 or more, a letter of appreciation.

Info on the bike:

this 250cc engine was great to me until just recently, the shifting messed up and is now stuck in second gear :( it's like a sitting duck now. Despite the obvious problem, it still starts, runs ( I needed to do 20 miles at 15MPH to get home, and it did just fine), and has 12k miles. I am limiting this ONLY TO US CONTINENTAL ONLY. please email me if you have any questions. 

Again I thank all of you for supporting my dream of earning a BS, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!! 

 

Cheers

Nico
