Help Mane's dream to study Architecture in the UK
Donation protected
Hi, I am Mane Grigoryan, 17 years old from Armenia. I have completed my A-level studies in the UK, generously supported by a full HMC scholarship which was granted to just two pupils in that year in Armenia.
After receiving A*A*A*A as my A-level grades from Maths, Further maths, Art and Physics I have now been offered an unconditional place at the Queen's University Belfast to read Architecture. This is one of the most expensive courses in UK universities, more so for an international student. I have managed to secure scholarships covering 2/3 of expenses, but I need funding for an additional £10,000 for my consecutive years of study.
I believe that reaching a goal is always possible if you really want it and work hard enough for it. Flying alone thousands of kilometres away, studying with a full scholarship in the UK school, getting to a point when I can give advice to others who face the same things as I did, and finally becoming a role model for my siblings, were the things that motivated me.
My biggest goal is to become a good professional in the field of Architecture, and by returning to Armenia, make positive changes there (and for reassurance, returning to Armenia is a formal requirement of the scholarship support I have already been given for university). After graduating, I aspire to use my knowledge of technology and design to plan buildings that will benefit society and the world by combating climate change and inequality in living. I have a clear goal to rebuild war-torn areas in Armenia and around the globe, prosper them, and leave there no trail of aggression or bombardments.
By becoming a qualified architect, I want to accept the challenge of using architecture to create something which is beyond the dreams of many, as I truly believe that better cities make better citizens.

I live in Dilijan with my parents (who both work), my grandfather, my younger brother and sister (who both go to school), and our dog Bobby. During school holidays in the UK, I have been hosted by our family friend Nazeli who is helping me organise this fundraiser.
