  • (1888PressRelease) May 18, 2023 - New Orleans, LA - Bree Arnaud, a senior at Xavier University of Louisiana, has launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance her final year of college education. Arnaud, who is studying Business - Sales and Marketing, needs $30,000 to cover the cost of tuition and textbooks for both the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters.

    Arnaud's journey to this point has been a challenging one. After struggling with her classes as a biology major, she switched to Computer Science, only to realize that it was not the right major for her. She eventually found her passion in Sales and Marketing, but due to switching majors’ multiple times, she exceeded the maximum timeframe for financial aid eligibility.

    Bree Arnaud is a first-generation college student, and the death of a family member put a toll on her mental health? She took some time off to work on my mental health. She returned in the FALL of 2022, to show herself that she could do it and make her family proud. There is no age limit on finishing school. It is possible to come back and finish, no matter the obstacles.

    "I was devastated when I learned that I wouldn't be able to receive financial aid for my final year of college," said Arnaud. "I've come so far, and I refuse to let financial obstacles prevent me from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Business - Sales and Marketing."

    Arnaud has created a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds needed to cover her tuition and textbook expenses. She hopes to receive support from the community, including individuals, businesses, and organizations, to help her achieve her educational goals.

    "I am extremely grateful for anyone who can donate and/or share my story," said Arnaud. "Obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Business - Sales and Marketing will not only be a personal achievement but also help me start a business working with animals, which has been a lifelong dream."

    Donations can be made through Arnaud's crowdfunding page https://gofund.me/b3156c15
    All donations will go towards covering the cost of Arnaud's tuition and textbooks for the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters.
