Dear NYUSPS Aspire friends and supporters,

Mark your calendars: NYU One Day is just one week away! Starting at midnight on 3/28/19, the NYU community will celebrate #NYUOneDay by coming together to support NYU students through charitable giving. This year, NYU is aiming for 4,000 gifts - and we hope you’ll consider making a contribution to Aspire in support of this school-wide goal!

If you’ve already made a contribution to our campaign, we sincerely thank you and encourage you to share the Aspire fundraiser and/or NYU One Day through social media. Every post, tweet, Instagram and DM helps as we work to spread the word about our deserving Aspire scholars!

Interested in learning more about the upcoming all-University day of giving? Visit nyuoneday.org for more details. If you’d like to learn more about the Aspire program and our students, visit sps.nyu.edu/high-school-academy/aspire.html.

Thank you for your continued support! Our team is so grateful for your generosity and the amazing opportunities your gift will provide.

Best,

The NYUSPS Aspire Team

Dear Aspire Supporters, Friends and Students,

Happy Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day! Whether you’re planning on a romantic evening with someone special or a relaxing holiday weekend with friends and family, we hope you’ll share some love with the NYUSPS Aspire Program. Showing your support for our amazing young scholars is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Make a donation to the fundraiser (if you haven’t already). Any size gift is welcome and incredibly appreciated by the whole NYUSPS Aspire team!

2. Share the NYUSPS Aspire Fundraiser on social media. Simply click on the social media buttons to easily share our Rising Violets page on your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It’s an easy and quick way to tell your family, friends and colleagues about this great cause.

3. Know a local student who may be eligible for an Aspire scholarship? Let them know that our Summer 2019 applications are open now on our website!

Thank you to our donors and everyone who has already posted, tweeted, or linked our fundraiser! Your support means the world to our students and staff. We truly could not make this program work without your generous contributions.

Best Wishes,

The NYUSPS Aspire Team

Happy New Year to all our NYUSPS Aspire supporters, students, and mentors!

The Aspire team has made a big resolution for 2019: to take all 80 of our students on an exciting, impactful college campus tour this summer! We hope that all of our young scholars will enjoy soaking up all of the different schools, settings, and experiences that will be available to them during this whirlwind day. For many students, this trip may be the first and only exposure they have to colleges outside their immediate area. With this in mind, the Aspire team is striving to make this experience one that they’ll never forget.

We sincerely thank all the donors who have already supported this cause, and we cannot wait to continue sharing our plans, progress and updates with you. We kindly ask that you consider sharing the NYUSPS Aspire fundraiser with family, friends and colleagues by clicking on any of the social media icons on our Rising Violets page. It only takes a minute to share, but your help will impact our students for years to come!

If you have not made a contribution to our fundraiser yet, we encourage you to consider donating to this wonderful group of high schoolers. Our diverse group of future first-generation college students come from all over New York City and New Jersey. Each student has been identified by the Aspire team as having unique strengths, deep community involvement, and strong character. Thanks to generous supporters like yourself, no Aspire student has to pay out of pocket to attend the program - all housing, meals, experiences, and resources are 100% covered by their scholarship.

From all of us at Aspire, thank you so much for your continued support!  

Looking forward to a wonderful 2019,

The NYUSPS Aspire Team
