2023 Examples of Student Crowdfunding Campaigns:
Dre Prendergast: History in Italy
Hey, my name is Deondre but feel free to call me Dre. I am attempting to study abroad in Italy while documenting my experience in order to fulfill both a dream of filming and the requirements for the Gilman scholarship program that has trusted me to do so. I currently raise two of my younger brothers while working six days a week and attempting to finish my multimedia/ video production degree in the process. Anything helps and I will personally dedicate my video abroad to anyone who decides to help make this dream a reality for me. Thank you for taking the time to read!
Juan Saucedo: Japanese Language in Japan
Hello, my name is Juan. I am a dual partnership student with Oregon State University (OSU) and Portland Community College (PCC), majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering and studying Japanese. I have been invited to participate in PCC’s Japanese language study abroad program in Japan, where I will be able to apply my Japanese out of class. The program exposes me to the language and culture by visiting the historic city of Kyoto. Kyoto is filled with ancient palaces and traditional tea houses to peaceful Zen gardens.
This opportunity would allow me to improve my Japanese, study the stunning culture of Japan, and assist me in my future goals, like earning a graduate degree in engineering in Japan and ultimately becoming a professor in Japan. All donations will be used to pay the program fee, which includes housing, co-curricular/cultural activities, select meals, and insurance.
Please support my goal of studying abroad in Japan by donating to my GoFundMe page!
