Help me study in Italy!

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Jonathan, and I’m reaching out to you all with a heart full of hope and a dream to visit the beautiful country of Italy. Currently, I attend the University of Illinois at Chicago and I’m majoring in Political Science with a Pre-Law concentration. During my time at college, I’ve been lucky to begin studying the Italian language and culture. My academic journey has helped fuel a desire within me to dive deep into the roots of Italian culture, as well as the roots of political theory and legal systems that originated in Ancient Rome. Italy not only holds significant history relevant to my major, but also shares a connection with me through my Italian last name (Palmisano) and ancestry.

I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to study abroad at the Accademia Italiana in Salerno, Italy through my university’s study abroad programs. The cost of studying abroad includes tuition, airfare, and living expenses, among other expenses. While I’ve been saving and applying for scholarships, the financial hurdle is still significant.

Your support would allow me to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enhance my academic career from a global perspective, understand my family culture, and continue my Italian language studies in a native environment. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to reaching Italy and achieving my personal and academic goals.

Thank you for considering my campaign and for any support you can offer. It truly means the world to me and to the future I’m striving to build!
