Help Ari Study Abroad in Japan

HELP ME GET TO JAPAN! ✈️

Hey y’all! I have an amazing opportunity to study abroad in Japan this summer from May 18 - June 2, 2025 through the "Business & Culture in Asia" program at the University of Southern Mississippi! ✨ This program will help me tremendously with my Business Administration minor and my Public Health major (Policy & Administration emphasis) as I prepare to graduate in December 2025.

The total cost for this trip is $7,799.76, and I’m working TWO jobs while taking 18 credit hours, keeping my car running, and supporting myself 3 hours away from family. This experience means the world to me, and I’m doing everything I can to make it happen.

I recently received the highly competitive $3,000 Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship (only 5 students from USM were awarded this cycle! ). This scholarship helps, but I still need to raise $4,799.76 to cover the full cost of the trip. If you’d like to support me, any donation—big or small—would be a HUGE help! ❤️

As a first-generation college student under my mom, graduating with my bachelor's degree is a dream come true. If you were thinking about getting me a graduation gift, this would be the best one ever! ✨

If you’re able to donate, please send contributions to $AriT2022 on Cash App. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this post would mean a lot. Thank you all for the love and support!
