Scholarship for Loss of Father

Donation protected
Hello, my friend Hibiki Sato, who lost her father desperately needs financial help!!

 Hibiki is au up-coming  jazz singer and Sophomore at New Jersey City University. Her goal is to receive world-class education and become a great musician (artist).  Since she has not been able to get any help from her family, she actually paid one year and a half of tuition fee by herself!! She finished taking general education courses in Temple University Japan Campus in Tokyo, and transferred to New Jersey City University in Fall 2018 to take music courses.

Now she has to raise huge amount of money to continue studying music as international students are not allowed to work in the United States. She is a hard-working and very talented parson, and she has been trying her best. So, please give some love to Hibiki!!

Hibiki's Comment

Hello. I am Hibiki Sato, am a jazz singer and Sophomore at New Jersey City University. I am in strong need of financial support to continue my study in music from Spring 2019 in the university.

Since my father suddenly passed by subarachnoid hemorrhage 5 years ago and my family are relying on survivor’s pension, I have been paying ALL college tuition with my savings that I earned by part-time job and performances in jazz clubs. But my budget does not allow me to continue my study anymore and I cannot expect any financial support from my family. 

I started singing jazz at clubs when I was 17 years old. Since then, I strongly felt the need of education for jazz voice in the United States since there are only few universities have Jazz Voice Program in Japan that are yet not cheap and are not satisfying. However, my father suddenly passed by subarachnoid hemorrhage 4 month later from my first performance. While my mother had to pay for compulsory education of my two younger sisters, I had to raise money by myself to study in university.

I went to Temple University Japan Campus in Tokyo where I could take General Education courses cheaper and still transfer credits to universities in the US. I have passed all the courses and I moved to the United States in Fall 2018. Now, I am taking music courses in New Jersey City University.

So far, my grade has been good. And I am eligible for $1000 scholarship from the school which is only scholarship available for international students. Unfortunately, that will not cover next semester’s tuition ($10.787). Again, as an international student, I am not allowed to work and earn money for the tuition in this country.

Now, there is only obstacle. That is financial obstacle. I desperately need your help now!

Here is a video clip from one of my performances.

God Bless You,
