The Claflin Fund
Hello!
My name is JaNasia Bracy, and I am a sophomore criminal justice
major from Dalzell, S.C. I also have a minor in psychology.
Being accepted and enrolling at Claflin University was
a dream come true – for my family and me. As the first in my family to
attend college, I have an opportunity to begin a new legacy
for my family by earning a Claflin degree. Many of my immediate and
extended family members are counting on me to complete my college
journey successfully.
It’s a tremendous challenge – but failure is not an option.
I am among a significant number of first-generation college students
who attend Claflin. Most of us are minorities and individuals of color
who realize that a high-quality academic experience empowers,
elevates, and transforms lives.
At Claflin, I am a member of several campus organizations,
including the Pre-Alumni Council and the Student Activities Board.
I hold leadership positions with these organizations,
and I strive to be a positive role model for all Claflin University students.
In addition to being a first-generation college student,
I rely on financial aid – like 80 percent of the students enrolled at
Claflin—to pay for tuition, room and board, books, computer fees, and
other expenses. However, state and federal aid
for college students has declined while costs continue to escalate.
That’s why charitable contributions from donors like you are essential.
Your investment in students like me is an investment in the future.
We depend on your support to help us make the most of our
career-defining college experiences. We are passionate about this
opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare ourselves to become the
next generation of globally engaged visionary leaders.
Sincerely,
J. Bracy
