The Uptown Foundation assisted me greatly during my college admissions journey. I was grateful to have had the opportunity to attend weekly SAT classes because the more I practiced the material the better my confidence and skills were the day of the test. Along with in-person classes, I was supplied SAT prep books for at-home practice which I took advantage of during pandemic months. I am most thankful for the generosity of The Uptown Foundation Scholarship which helped me tremendously with textbooks and lab fees. At times when I was feeling stressed, I knew that I could rely on The Uptown Foundation to better prepare myself for my dream school.
