Help Fund my Master’s Degree in Education
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Miandé and I am raising funds to pay my way through graduate school in the USA and pave my future as an educator.
It has been a long, stressful road to get here as I have battled: an undergraduate degree during the COVID-19 pandemic, being away from my family for 5 years, the immigration process and now finally the costs of attending USF.
After 13 months of waiting, I finally received my student visa after dozens of emails, phone calls, prayers and paperwork. Unfortunately, due to the long processing time, I couldn’t make the deadline for the scholarship paperwork and lost my $3500 scholarship.
Going to grad school is important to me because teachers are important. I want to become the best teacher I can be to ensure my students get the best education. There is a shortage of qualified teachers, not only in the US but all around the world. Finishing this program and obtaining my degree will provide me with the credentials to teach anywhere in the world and make a difference. The same difference my teachers have made to me.
I am asking friends, family and even strangers to help me, so I can pay my tuition. As much as I am not able to pay it back, I guarantee that I will pay it forward.
The total amount I need for my grad program is $31.624 in tuition alone. I’m funding as much of that as possible by myself, but help is definitely needed and appreciated. Please spread the word to help me make my dreams come true!
