(Re)Starting a FIRST Scholarship at the University of Michigan

[Basel A]

Hello CDenizens!

As you're likely aware, dozens of colleges around the country offer scholarships specifically to FIRST students. Although the University of Michigan offered a FIRST scholarship in the past, it does not anymore. The FIRST Alumni and Mentors Network at Michigan would like to start it back up again, and we need your help.

On Tuesday, November 29th, U of M is hosting Giving Blueday, an online and on-campus celebration of giving and charity. Our goal is to raise $5000 for the FAMNM - FIRST Scholarship. We are creating this scholarship in order to help more bright and determined individuals make attending Michigan a reality, regardless of their financial situation. The link to donate is https://www.giving.umich.edu/give/328728

The FIRST Alumni and Mentor Network at Michigan (FAMNM) is a student organization whose mission is to encourage K-12 students to pursue STEM, business and community outreach opportunities, support Michigan based FIRST mentors and volunteers, and to develop a professional network of FIRST supporters at the University of Michigan. Our organization supports many FIRST teams in the Ann Arbor area, from FLL to FRC. We also host workshops and one of the largest kickoffs in the country.

Please consider donating to support a FIRST Scholarship at the University of Michigan; every small amount helps. Thank you for your support, and Go Blue!

Best regards,
Basel Alghanem
