Abacebisi bakho beTPP

Dibana noMbhali: 
Molweni nonke! NdinguLizette kwaye ndingumfundi ophezulu ndifumana iBA kwi-Economics. NjengoMmeli we-2021 we-Umoja Ambassador Intern, ndiyayila kwaye ndiqhuba ukufikelela kwiinkqubo ze-Umoja kwiikholeji zoluntu ezingqonge urhulumente. Inxalenye ye-internship yam kukudala le bhlog ukunceda ukuxhasa abafundi abaMnyama abagqithiselayo. 

Inkqubo yam yokwamkela: 

Xa ndafaka isicelo kwi-UC Santa Cruz andizange ndicinge ukuba ndiya kuze ndiye. Andikhumbuli nokuba kutheni ndikhethe ukufaka isicelo kwi-UCSC. Mna ngokwenene TAG'd ukuya e-UC Santa Barbara kuba banikezela ngabafundi abatshintshela amagumbi abo. Kum yayiyeyona nto ingcono yayinokuyifumana. Nangona kunjalo ndiye ndasilela ukujonga iSebe lezoQoqosho e-UCSB. Khange ndiyiqonde into yokuba iSebe lezoQoqosho e-UCSB ligxile kakhulu kwezemali -- into ebendinomdla kuyo. Njengokuba, bendiyithiyile. Kwanyanzeleka ukuba ndijonge ekuphela kwesikolo esandamkelayo -- UCSC. 

Into yokuqala endayenzayo kukukhangela kwabo ISebe lezoqoqosho ndaye ndathandana. Kwakukho uqoqosho rhoqo kunye nenye enkulu ebizwa ngokuba yi "Global Economics." Ndandisazi ukuba i-Global Economics yayiyeyam kuba yayibandakanya iiklasi malunga nomgaqo-nkqubo, uqoqosho, impilo, kunye nokusingqongileyo. Yayiyinto yonke endandinomdla kuyo. Ndajonga izixhobo zabo zabafundi beTransfer. Ndifunde unikezelo lwe-UCSC IINTSI, i iakhademi yehlobo, kwaye izindlu eziqinisekisiweyo iminyaka emibini ebiluncedo kakhulu kuba bendicwangcisele ukuphumelela kwiminyaka emibini [nceda uqaphele ukuba iziqinisekiso zezindlu ziyahlaziywa ngoku ngenxa ye-COVID]. Inye kuphela into eseleyo ukuba ndiyenze yayikukujonga i-campus. 

Ngombulelo kum, umhlobo wam olungileyo waya e-UCSC. Ndamtsalela umnxeba ndimcela ukuba ndindwendwele kwaye ndijonge ekhampasini. Ukuhamba nje ukuya eSanta Cruz kwandiqinisekisa ukuba ndiye. Ndisuka eLos Angeles kwaye andizange ebomini bam ndibone uhlaza olungaka kunye namahlathi.

Ikhampasi yayiphefumla kwaye intle! Ndandiyithanda yonke into ngayo. Kwiyure yam yokuqala ekhampasini ndabona iintyatyambo zasendle ziqhakaza, iibhani kunye namaxhama. I-LA ayinakuze. Ngosuku lwam lwesibini ekhampasini ndagqiba ekubeni ndingenise UMnumzana wam, ingxelo yam yenjongo yokubhalisa. Ndafaka isicelo kwi-Summer Academy ukuze nditshintshelwe [ngoku Transfer Edge] ngoSeptemba kwaye yamkelwa. Ngasekupheleni kukaSeptemba ngexesha le-Summer Academy, ndafumana iphakheji yam yoncedo lwezemali yonyaka wesikolo kwaye ndabhalisa kwiiklasi zam zekota yokuwa. Abacebisi boontanga kwi-Summer Academy babambe iiworkshops ukunceda ukuqonda zombini iinkqubo kunye phendula nayiphi na imibuzo. Andiqondi ukuba ngendilungelelanise kakuhle kwikhampasi ngaphandle kwe-Summer Academy kuba ndikwazile ukuphonononga isikolo kunye nesixeko esisingqongileyo ngaphandle kwabafundi abaqhelekileyo. Xa ikota yokuwa iqalile, bendiyazi indlela yam yokujikeleza, ukuba zeziphi iibhasi ekufuneka ndihambe nazo, kunye nazo zonke iindlela ezijikeleze ikhampasi.

Umenzi wefilimu kunye nombhali, uGreg Neri uphumelele kwi-UC Santa Cruz e 1987. Kweyakhe udliwano-ndlebe neSebe lobuGcisa beThiyetha e-UCSC, wavakalisa uthando lwakhe nge-UCSC kuluntu lwayo. Njengomboniso bhanyabhanya kunye nobugcisa bethiyetha enkulu wathatha ithuba lamadlelo aluhlaza kwaye akazange aphelise ihlathi. Uchithe ixesha lakhe elininzi epeyinta amadlelo akufutshane nebhadi yekhampasi. Ngapha koko, uGreg ukhumbula ukuba oonjingalwazi bakhe e-UCSC bathatha ithuba kuye elamnika isibindi sokubeka umngcipheko ebomini bakhe. 

Nangona kunjalo, uGreg akazange ahlale umenzi wefilimu ngonaphakade, waqala ukubhala emva kokubambelela kwiprojekthi yefilimu iYummy. Ngelixa esebenza nabantwana kuMbindi woMzantsi, eLos Angeles, wafumanisa ukuba ukufumanisa kulula ukuthetha nokunxibelelana nabantwana abancinci. Wakuxabisa ukubhala ngeendleko eziphantsi zohlahlo lwabiwo-mali kunye nolawulo olukhulu kwiiprojekthi zakhe. Ekugqibeleni iprojekthi yefilimu yaba inoveli yemizobo ukuba kunamhlanje. 

Ukwahluka ekubhaleni kubaluleke kakhulu kuGreg Neri. Kweyakhe udliwano-ndlebe no-ConnectingYA, UGreg Neri wachaza ukuba kufuneka kubekho ukubhala okuvumela ukuba ezinye iinkcubeko zihambe kwiindlela ezifanayo zomlingisi oyintloko ngaphandle kokuqhawula. Kufuneka ibhalwe ngendlela yokuba umfundi aqonde izenzo zomlinganiswa oyintloko kwaye ukuba kwiimeko ezifanayo, enze izigqibo ezifanayo. Uthi uYummy 'asilobali leghetto, kodwa lelomntu." Ucacisa ukuba akukho nakuphi na ukubhala kubantwana abasemngciphekweni wokuba ngamaqela emigulukudu kwaye ngabo bantwana badinga amabali kakhulu. Ekugqibeleni uchaza athi, “indaleko yeencwadi zam ayizange icwangciswe kodwa zasuka zavela, zikhuthazwa ziindawo zokwenene nabantu endidibene nabo ebomini, andizange ndijonge ngasemva.” Ukuba uzama ukwenza isigqibo sokuba wenze ntoni ngobomi bakho, uGreg ukucebisa ukuba “fumana ilizwi lakho kwaye ulisebenzise. Nguwe kuphela onokubona umhlaba ngale ndlela ubona ngayo. ”

Iikholeji e-UC Santa Cruz ziluncedo ekudaleni uluntu lokufunda kunye nommandla oxhasayo obonisa amava e-UC Santa Cruz.

Bonke abafundi abathweswe izidanga, nokuba bahlala kwizindlu zaseyunivesithi okanye akunjalo, banxulumana nenye yeekholeji ezili-10. Ukongeza kubafundi bezindlu kwiindawo zokuhlala ezincinci, ikholeji nganye ibonelela ngenkxaso yezemfundo, iququzelela imisebenzi yabafundi, kwaye ibonelele ngenkxaso yeziganeko eziphucula ubomi bengqondo kunye nentlalontle yekhampasi.

Lonke uluntu lwasekholejini lubandakanya abafundi abaneemvelaphi ezahlukeneyo kunye neenjongo zemfundo. Ukudityaniswa kwakho nekholeji kuxhomekeke kukhetho lwakho olukhulu, kwaye abafundi babeka ukhetho lwabo kwikholeji xa besamkela ngokusemthethweni ukwamkelwa kwabo kwi-UCSC ngokusebenzisa Inkqubo yeNjongo yokuBhalisa (SIR).. 

Sicele abafundi be-UCSC bangoku ukuba babelane ngesizathu sokuba bakhethe ikholeji yabo kunye naziphi na iingcebiso, iingcebiso, okanye amava abangathanda ukwabelana ngawo ngokunxulumene nekholeji yabo. Funda ngakumbi ngezantsi:

"Andizange ndiyazi nto malunga nenkqubo yekholeji e-UCSC xa ndifumana ukwamkelwa kwam kwaye ndididekile ukuba kutheni ndicelwa ukuba ndikhethe ubulungu bekholeji ukuba sele ndifumene ukwamkelwa kwam. Indlela elula yokuchaza inkqubo yokubambisana kwekholeji kukuba ukuba ikholeji nganye inemixholo eyahlukileyo ubeka ukhetho lwakho lokunxulumana ngokusekwe kowuphi umxholo wekholeji owuthandayo. Oakes. Umxholo ka-Oakes uthi 'UkuNxibelelana ngeYantlukwano ukwenzela uluntu olunobulungisa.' Oku bekubalulekile kum kuba ndingummeli weekholeji ezohlukeneyo kunye ne-STEM. Enye yezinto ezikhethekileyo ezinikezelwa yi-Oakes kukuba INzululwazi kwiNkqubo yokuHlala. U-Adriana Lopez ungumcebisi wangoku kwaye ubamba iminyhadala emininzi enxulumene neyantlukwano ye-STEM, amathuba ophando, kunye nokucebisa ukuba ube ngusonzululwazi oyingcali okanye usebenze kukhathalelo lwezempilo. Xa ukhetha ikholeji, abafundi ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka bathathe ixesha lokujonga umxholo wekholeji nganye. Indawo kufuneka kwakhona ithathelwe ingqalelo xa kujongwe iikholeji. Umzekelo, ukuba uyakonwabela ukuzilolonga ungafuna ukukhetha enye Cowell College or Ikholeji yaseStevenson kuba zezona zikufutshane kwi Ijim. Kukwabalulekile ukuba ungagxininisi ekukhetheni ikholeji. Ikholeji nganye iyamangalisa kwaye yodwa ngendlela yayo. Wonke umntu ugqiba ekubeni athande ukunxulumana nekholeji kwaye oko kwenza amava ekholeji anobuntu ngakumbi. "

"Emva kokuba umhlobo wam endithatha kukhenketho kuyo yonke inkampu, eyona nto yayindinamathele kakhulu Ikholeji yaseStevenson, Ikholeji ngo-9, yaye Ikholeji ngo-10. Ndakuba ndivunyiwe, ndanxulumana neKholeji 9. Ndandikuthanda ukuhlala apho. Ibekwe kwindawo ephezulu yekhampasi, kufutshane ne Isikolo saseBaskin sobuNjineli. Ngenxa yendawo, akuzange kufuneke ndinyuke induli ukuya eklasini. Ikwakufuphi ngokwenene nevenkile yekofu, indawo yokutyela engentla kweholo lokutyela, kunye nekhefi enetafile zepool kunye ne-0.25 yeedola. Ingcebiso yam kubafundi abathatha isigqibo sokuba yeyiphi ikholeji abanokuyikhetha kukuqwalasela apho banokuziva bekhululekile khona ngokwendawo ebangqongileyo. Ikholeji nganye inamandla ayo, ngoko ke kuxhomekeke kwinto ekhethwa ngumntu. Umzekelo, ukuba uthanda ukuntywiliselwa ehlathini, Porter College or IKholeji yaseKresge kuya kuba kuhle kakhulu. Ukuba ufuna ukusondela kwindawo yokuzivocavoca, Cowell College or Ikholeji yaseStevenson kungangcono. Iiklasi ze-STEM zihlala zibanjwa kwiYunithi yeKlasi yesi-2, ke ukuba uyiNjineli, iBhayoloji, iKhemistry, okanye iNzululwazi yeKhompyutha enkulu ndingathathela ingqalelo kakhulu nokuba ziiKholeji 9 okanye 10. Ukuba ujonga ubume bekhampasi kunye nezinto ozithandayo. uhlobo lwendawo, ndiqinisekisa ukuba uya kuyifumana ikholeji ongathanda ukunxulumana nayo!"

"Ukubeka isikhundla sam ekholejini kwakumnandi. Ngaphambi kokufaka isicelo ndandisazi ukuba ikholeji nganye igxininisa kwiimpawu kunye neempawu ezithile. Cowell College kuba ikufuphi nonyawo lwekhampasi, oko kuthetha ukuba kuyakhawuleza ukuya nokusuka kumbindi wedolophu yaseSanta Cruz. Ikwakufuphi nebala elikhulu, indawo yokuzivocavoca, kunye nedama lokuqubha. Umxholo kaCowell uthi 'Ukusukela Inyaniso kwiNkampani yabahlobo.' Oku kuyandikhathaza kuba ukunxibelelana kunye nokuphuma kwiqokobhe lam bekubalulekile kwimpumelelo yam ekholejini. Ukufunda ngeembono ezahlukeneyo kubalulekile ekukhuleni. Ikholeji yaseCowell ibamba iminyhadala eyahlukeneyo yabafundi ebandakanya ukunxibelelana kunye nokwandisa isangqa sakho. Ibamba iinkomfa zeZoom ezigxile kukubaluleka kwempilo yengqondo endiyifumene iluncedo. "

"Kubahlobo bam, ndichaza inkqubo yekholeji ye-UCSC njengoluhlu loluntu lwabafundi abancinci abasasazwa kuyo yonke i-campus. Oku kwenza kube lula kubafundi ukuba benze abahlobo kunye nokwakha uluntu - izinto ezimbini ezenza ukuba amava ekholeji abe mnandi ngakumbi. wakhetha ukuzimanya naye Ikholeji yase-Oakes ngenxa yezizathu ezibini. Okokuqala, umalume wayedibene nayo xa wayengumfundi kwakudala kwaye wayeyithanda kakhulu. Wathi iyamema, imnandi kwaye ivula amehlo. Okwesibini, ndatsalwa kwingxelo ye-mission ye-Oakes ethi: 'UkuNxibelelana ngeZintlu ezahlukeneyo kuMbutho oLungileyo.' Ndaziva ndisekhaya ukuba ndingummeli wobulungisa boluntu. Okubalulekileyo, i-Oakes ikwabonelela ngezibonelelo ezininzi kumalungu abo asekuhlaleni. Ukongeza kwizindlu, ibonelela ngeenkonzo zeholo yokutyela, amavolontiya kunye namathuba omsebenzi ahlawulelwayo, urhulumente wabafundi, kunye nokunye! Xa ukhetha ukudibanisa kwikholeji, ndincoma ukuba abafundi bakhethe ikholeji enengxelo yobuthunywa ehambelana nomdla wabo kunye / okanye ixabiso. Oku kuya kwenza ukuba ixesha lakho ekholejini lonwabe kwaye libe luncedo. "

"Ngaphambi kokufaka isicelo kwi-UCSC, ndandingazi ukuba kukho iikholeji. Emva kokuba ndifake i-SIR yam, ndacelwa ukuba ndibeke isikhundla sam kwiKholeji yokuzikhethela. Ndamangaliswa kukuba i-UCSC ineeKholeji ezili-10, zonke zinemixholo eyahlukeneyo kunye iingxelo zobuthunywa ndigqibe IKholeji yaseKresge kuba yayiyikholeji yokuqala endayityelelayo xa ndandiza kukhenketho lwekhampasi kwaye ndathandana ne-vibe. UKresge wandikhumbuza ngoluntu oluncinane lwasehlathini. I-Kresge nayo izindlu Iinkonzo zokuTshintshela kunye nokuNgena kwakhona kwabafundi (iNkqubo ye-STARS). Ndaziva ngathi ndifumene ikhaya kude nekhaya. Ndidibene neqela le-Kresge Advising kwaye baye baluncedo kakhulu ekuphenduleni imibuzo yam / iinkxalabo malunga nenkqubela yam yokuphumelela. Ndingakhuthaza abafundi ukuba bathathe a ukhenketho lwenyani kuzo zonke iikholeji ezili-10 kwaye wazi inkcazo yobuthunywa/imixholo nganye. Ezinye ii-majors zitsalela kwiikholeji ezithile. Umzekelo, Ikholeji yaseRachel CarsonUmxholo othi 'Indalo kunye noLuntu,' ngoko ke uninzi lwabafundi beZifundo zokusiNgqongileyo kunye neNzululwazi yokusiNgqongileyo batsaleleka kuloo kholeji. Ngenxa ye Transfer Community, Porter College igcina uninzi lwabafundi abatshintshayo."

Abafundi abangenisa zabo Isicelo samahhala se-Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) ngomhla obekiweyo obekiweyo zithathelwa ingqalelo kwaye zibe nethuba elingcono lokufumana uncedo lwemali. Sicele abafundi be-UCSC bangoku ukuba babelane ngamava abo kwaye banike iingcebiso ngenkqubo ye-FAFSA, uncedo lwemali, kunye nokuhlawulela ikholeji. Funda iimbono zabo ngezantsi:

“Uncedo lwam lwemali lokuqala lwalungeloncedo lwaneleyo lokuhlawula zonke iindleko zam zesikolo, njengoko imeko yam yezemali yayitshintshile oko ndandifake isicelo e-UCSC, phantse unyaka ongaphambili. Ngelishwa, kamsinya nje emva kokuba ubhubhani we-COVID uqalile, mna nosapho lwam sazifumana singaphangeli. Asikwazanga ukuhlawula imali yokuqala usapho lwam bekulindeleke ukuba luyihlawule, ngokwe-FAFSA's Igalelo loSapho elilindelekileyo (i-EFC). Ndafumanisa ukuba i-UCSC ineenkqubo zokunceda abantu abafana nam, ababenempembelelo yezemali ukusukela oko babegqibele ukuzalisa i-FAFSA. Ngokungenisa ii-UCSC's Isibheno seGalelo lezeMali aka Isibheno seGalelo loSapho, ndiye ndakwazi ukufumana imali yam yokuqala ye-EFC yehla ukuya kwiqanda. Oku kwakuthetha ukuba ndingakufanelekela ukufumana uncedo olongezelelekileyo, kwaye ndiseza kukwazi ukuya eyunivesithi, nangona ubhubhane owaziswa ngubhubhane. Akukho mfuneko yokoyika ukucela uncedo xa ulufuna, kuba ezi nkqubo zenzelwe ukukunceda uphumelele kusukelo lwakho lwemfundo, kwaye azinazigqibo.”

“Xa ndineminyaka eli-17 ubudala, iyunivesithi yabucala yandixelela ukuba ndithathe imali-mboleko ye-100,000 yeedola ukuze ndiqhubeke nemfundo ephakamileyo. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndiye kwikholeji yasekuhlaleni endaweni yoko. Njengomfundi otshintshela kwelinye ilizwe ochithe iminyaka yam yekholeji kuzo zombini iikholeji zasekuhlaleni kwaye ngoku e-UCSC, bendinexhala malunga noncedo lwemali olunyamalalayo kanye njengoko ndikwazile ukutshintshela eDyunivesithi kuba andizange ndichithe iminyaka emibini ebilindelwe kwikholeji yoluntu. Ngethamsanqa kukho iindlela ezimbalwa zokuqinisekisa ukuba iCal Grants yakho iyaqhubeka ukukunceda emva kokuba utshintshe. Ungenza isicelo sokwandiswa konyaka omnye ukuba ubusahlelwa 'njengendoda eqalayo' emva konyaka wakho wokuqala okanye xa utshintshela kwelinye ilizwe ngokusebenzisa IMbasa yeLungelo lokuTshintshela iSibonelelo seCal, eya kuqinisekisa ukuba uncedo lwemali luya kuqhubeka xa utshintshela kwiziko leminyaka emi-4. Ukufaka isicelo nokufumana uncedo lwezemali kunokuba bhetyebhetye ngakumbi kunokuba abantu becinga!”

“I-UCSC indinike eyona phakheji yoncedo lwezemali kwezinye izikolo ezibini endafaka isicelo kuzo: UC Berkeley kunye ne-UC Santa Barbara. Uncedo lwemali lundenze ndagxila kancinci kwiingxaki ezihambelana nokungcwatywa kwamatyala omfundi kwaye ndigxile kakhulu ekufundeni kangangoko ndinako njengomfundi. Ndiye ndahlakulela ubudlelwane obunentsingiselo kunye nabafundisi bam, ndagqwesa kwiiklasi zabo, kwaye ndibe nexesha lokubandakanyeka kwimisebenzi yangaphandle. "

-U-Enrique Garcia, i-TPP Peer Mentor

"Njengomfundi otshintshela kwelinye ilizwe, inkxalabo yam enye yayiyindlela endiya kuhlawula ngayo imali yokufunda. Ngaphambi kokuba ndifunde ngenkqubo ye-UC, ndandicinga ukuba iya kuba yindleko yeenkwenkwezi. Okothusayo kukuba, ifikeleleka ngakumbi kunokuba ndandicinga. Ekuqaleni , iCal Grant yam ihlawulele uninzi lwezifundo zam Indinike imali engaphezulu kancinane kwe-13,000 yeedola kodwa ngenxa yemicimbi ebingalindelekanga yathathwa Nangona oku kwenzekile ndakwazi ukufumana isibonelelo seyunivesithi yase-UCSC ehambelana nebhaso lam lokuqala . I-UCSC (kunye nazo zonke ii-UC's) zibonelela ngeenkqubo ezibalaseleyo ezenzelwe ukukunceda xa kuvela iingxaki ezingalindelekanga Apha e-UCSC, nokuba yeyiphi imeko onokuzibhaqa ukuyo, luhlala lukhona uncedo.

-Thomas Lopez, TPP Mentor

“Esinye sezizathu zokuba ndikwazi ukuya e-UCSC kungenxa ye UC Blue kunye neSicwangciso seThuba leGolide. UC's Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan iqinisekisa ukuba awuzukuhlawula imali yokufunda kunye neefizi epokothweni yakho ukuba ungumhlali waseCarlifonia ongeniso yosapho lwakhe iyonke ingaphantsi kwe-80,000 yeedola ngonyaka kwaye ukulungele ukufumana uncedo lwemali. Ukuba unemfuno yemali eyaneleyo i-UCSC iya kukunika izibonelelo ezingakumbi zokukunceda uhlawulele nezinye izinto. Ndifumene isibonelelo esincedisa ekuhlawuleleni indlu yam kunye ne-inshurensi yezempilo. Ezi nkxaso-mali zindivumele ukuba ndithathe imali-mboleko encinci kwaye ndiye e-UCSC ngexabiso elifikelelekayo-elifikelelekayo ngakumbi kunokuba abantu abaninzi becinga ukuba kunjalo. "
