Help me return to New Zealand!

Ever since I was a child, one of my biggest dreams has been to return to New Zealand. And now, that dream is finally within reach: I’ve been accepted to study abroad there through Ball State University from February to June 2026!

This opportunity means the world to me, but as you can imagine, it comes with a lot of expenses: housing, tuition, flights, and daily living costs, just to name a few. I’m applying for scholarships, working during breaks and while attending classes to save as much as I can, but I still have a financial gap to bridge.

I’m excited to not only revisit meaningful places from my early life, but also to grow. New classes, internships, and cultural experiences are just the tip of the iceberg. I’ll be diving into topics like New Zealand’s rich history, learning another country's way of storytelling and media work, all while building my academic and creative skills.

Would you be willing to help me out?
