Help Andrea get to MIT
Donation protected
My name is Andrea Jimenez.
I’m a born and raised Costa Rican, passionate about science and engineering and It’s been my long life dream to pursue higher education and become an example, leader, and mentor for other girls like me.
I was privileged to be admitted not only to the best university in the world the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) but to one of the most exclusive programs for graduate students, the Leaders for Global Operations (lgo.mit.edu).
I will pursue two degrees: One is an MS in computer science with all of my courses focused on Artificial intelligence and a master in business administration (MBA).
I received a significant scholarship from the partner companies, and also received an additional scholarship from the LGO, for being one of the top applicants this year.
Regardless of having all this amazing support from MIT I still need additional funding not only for my tuition but for my living expenses in Boston (+40k USD per year). Unfortunately, there are no public or private scholarships in Costa Rica and for the first 12 months of my time in the program, working and getting other resources is going to be challenging, since I can’t apply to TAs or RAs.
I created this fundraiser to help me fund my expenses for the next 12 months in Boston. Living in Boston expenses are from $2500 to $3000 per month. Way over Costa Rican normal living expenses and my savings.
Without your help, it would be impossible for me to attend my master's, so any help will be appreciated, will help me achieve my dream, of becoming one of the few Costa Ricans to attend the program and in the future give back not only in knowledge but economically to my country.
