(Black PR Wire) Sophia Jacobs knew she wanted to attend Spelman College, one of UNCF’s member institutions, because the school “is known for sisterhood and Black excellence,” she said. “I wanted to be a part of this legacy to uplift the mission of changing the world for the better.”

Jacobs, a first-generation college student, improved the lives of her fellow students in many ways. One was by creating a laptop borrow and return program.

“I worked on this project for the whole of my sophomore year as the secretary of Spelman technology services in the Spelman Student Government Association (SSGA),” she shared. “When the SSGA announced that the program had finally become available to students, in my junior year, I was ecstatic at the news that my fellow students experiencing financial hardship would be able to access support and resources for all their academic endeavors at Spelman College.”
