NJ-AAST-2026-0003: Future radiologist or physical therapist balancing college, wrestling and MMA while struggling to afford his sophomore year

STUDENT BACKGROUND:
A 19-year-old sophomore studying biology with a focus on health sciences is working toward a career in radiology or physical therapy. He chose the medical field because he wanted to wrestle in college and to make his parents happy, and he agreed with them on this path. His freshman year he commuted two to three hours each way every day, and the strain played a part in a seizure he had in the months that followed. This year he moved into a dorm so he could stay in college and keep wrestling, and now he is struggling to afford it. He is looking for a job that works with his class schedule, works when he can, and pays housing and car bills on his own, all while wrestling, training as an MMA fighter and commuting between campuses. A sponsor would help him afford college and take a lot of stress off his shoulders.
