Hi guys! My name is Melany, and I was selected to study away at NYU London. Along with gaining admission into the NYU London program, I was chosen for a limited Fashion program amongst various applicants. Studying abroad in London has been my dream since before I started my undergrad degree at NYU. As a low-income BIPOC student, these opportunities do not always seem attainable, but they could be with help from friends and family!

I work a part-time job that allows me to save money for day-to-day expenses and monthly rent money. Managing a job and school has been a hassle, but I do it to maintain independence and help my mother pay bills.

Since London is more expensive, my housing scholarship does not cover the dorms entirely, so raising money would help with living costs along with helping me maintain my share of bills in the city.

I am grateful for any help that comes my way :)

Thank you!
