I'm Brian, 19, in Year 12. My parents work long hours and didn't go to university, so there's no one at home who can help me understand applications, deadlines or financial aid. I'd like to study biomedical science.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at an after-school program and I have a draft of my personal statement. What I need is someone to read my essays, tell me honestly what's weak, and explain how scholarships work.
I'm looking for an hour a week until January. We can do it by video from anywhere. My mother will be at home during every call, and the school counselor knows about this request.
Thanks for reading. It took me a long time to ask.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

- 1 hour a week

Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Jerusalem donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dundee.
Rooting for you, Brian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Dundee.
Hope it all works out, Brian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck, Brian. Study hard! All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Khulna donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
