Friend,

At UNCF, we have helped more than 500,000 students not just attend college, but thrive, graduate and become leaders. Paris Smith is one of those individuals and this Women’s History Month, we want to share her story with you and show how you have helped make an impact.

Paris Smith delivered continued excellence as she pursued an undergraduate degree in business at Edward Waters University in Florida. After serving as president of two honors societies and maintaining her place in the university’s Honors College, she’s now ready to earn her master’s degree and is committed to a life of continuous learning and professional development.

With the support of people like you, students like Paris can count on help with critical expenses like textbooks, housing and tuition—ensuring they can focus on their education. 

That’s why we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $10,000 by March 20 to support exceptional students in need. We’re counting on your support to close the gap. So, please: will you make a gift today and help provide the education and opportunity students need to thrive?

Right now, countless promising students like Paris are ready to reach new heights in their academic lives and build the foundation for bright, promising futures. But for many, a lack of resources and opportunities will stand in their way.

By helping us to reach our $10,000 goal, you’ll help to give these students the support they need to thrive.

So please: will you make a gift now? Every dollar will help provide the hope and education students need.

Thank you for your support and for being a vital part of the UNCF community.
