My Project

At John Jay School for Law, our students are driven and committed to making a difference in the world. However, many face challenges accessing the resources necessary to unlock their full potential. To support their academic growth and success, we are requesting 5 computers for our College Applications and College Office. These devices will provide students with the technology needed to complete college applications, research scholarships, access online educational tools, and prepare for higher education.

The requested computers will have an immediate and lasting impact on our students.

Many struggle with completing online applications due to limited access to reliable computers. By providing these devices, we empower students to work independently on applications, essays, and supporting materials, ensuring they meet deadlines and submit polished applications. This support is essential for students to apply to colleges that can help them achieve their dreams and build brighter futures.

Our students come from historically underserved backgrounds and often face significant personal and academic challenges. Despite these obstacles, they are resilient, dedicated, and motivated to pursue higher education, with a strong desire to create positive change in their communities. By funding this project and providing the requested computers, you will directly contribute to their success. These resources will help our students complete their applications, access critical tools, and develop essential technological skills for their futures.

Your support of this initiative will ensure that our students have the resources needed to pursue their educational aspirations and make meaningful contributions to the world. Thank you for considering this investment in their futures.
