In the eyes of some educators, the model of "crowdfunding tuition fees" will not have any prospects, and the current funders will eventually calm down, and their evaluation of project sponsors will return to the evaluation of traditional bursary funders. They think that those students with good family background and average grades will not raise extra funds through crowdfunding mode.

But at least for now, this is not the case. Not to mention the crowdfunding tuition projects that urgently need funds to go abroad and promise to bring back some souvenirs from abroad, which look like "stories", and some ordinary cases can also raise a lot of money. For example, an American girl named Amani started a project to raise college tuition for herself. She didn't tell any "touching stories", but generously said that she was middle class and most of her academic achievements were just "B". But she believes that even on her own terms, she should be funded. She believes that she can succeed in her studies and career after being "engaged", and she will help people who are in the same situation as her now. With such a "dream", Armani has raised $5,000 so far, which is far from the $47,000 she hoped to raise, but it is undoubtedly quite successful.

At present, I don't know what people who support Armani think-perhaps because they used to be ordinary students like Armani and didn't receive any funding, so they agreed with her. Or just convinced by her dreams. But what is certain is that Armani's statement about crowdfunding dreams touched them. This kind of "touching" is actually a kind of "utility" and also a kind of "satisfaction"-as mentioned above, this is "the willing takes the bait", and if the expenses funded by oneself can really make this girl realize her dream and help more ordinary students, this kind of "satisfaction" will be doubled.

As for those crowdfunding projects with stories, the chances of getting this satisfaction are higher. Perhaps this kind of satisfaction is just that "I can't go abroad to study, but I funded a dream of going abroad" is very pleasant, or it is the freshness of "getting foreign souvenirs" or the vanity of "successful people will thank me in the future". These satisfactions may be evaluated as illusory, but they are real. Compared with the traditional way of donating money to Project Hope, this way of "crowdfunding tuition" has really improved the effectiveness of investors.
