Surprise! I'll be studying in Valencia during the Spring of 2018. I never thought about study abroad because I always viewed it as a glorified vacation that I can't afford. So why the change?

 

You probably know by now that I want to be an immigration attorney. I know that I am very familiar with migration in the United States, but what I have grown increasingly concerned with is the European migrant crisis. This crisis is one of the most pressing global issues of the modern world. After consulting my major adviser, I've been able to craft my class/internship schedule such that I will be studying European migration patterns and working with migrants themselves. I'm super excited about this immersive learning experience and the networking opportunities it will provide me!

 

But there's a problem. Today I got my scholarship award letter back from the International Studies Office, and I was given absolutely nothing. This is not the first time my actual financial need has not been met, as the whole reason I'm able to attend at UVA is because of my merit scholarship rather than need-based aid.

 

So how can you help? Donate to send me to Spain! I've estimated I'll need to crowd fundraise $6000, but any amount from as many people as possible helps. (This is especially nice if you were already planning to get me a Christmas gift, in my opinion.)

 

Thanks so much for supporting me in my pursuit of the most fulfilling educational experience I can have at UVA!
