NU Student Thank You:

Kimani Taylor

My Northeastern experience would not be possible without the support of donors. My father used to work in the Speare Dining Hall many years before I was born, but he never would have imagined he’d have a child who would one day attend the school. I would like to thank the generous donors who supported my scholarship because, without them, I would not be able to go to Northeastern.

When applying for financial aid, I lacked a co-signer that would have allowed me to take out private loans, making the aid I received indispensable to completing my Northeastern education. I hope those donors know that they have made an immeasurable impact on the lives of so many students who are struggling financially.

 I chose Northeastern because of the excellent co-op program, which I knew would help me find a good job after graduating. And I love that Northeastern is such a diverse yet inclusive community. I hope to someday own a restaurant, and am confident that Northeastern will give me the skills to make this a reality. While it is up to the students to make the best of their college experience, Northeastern provides all the necessary resources and more to ensure our success.
