Help Natalie Attend Summer Intensive for MA program

Dear friends and family!

Great news! I was accepted into the Sanskrit Summer Intensive (SASLI) through the University of Wisconsin - Madison. It’s one of the only accredited summer programs for such a niche skill, and is a necessary language in the Master of Religious Studies, which I will be pursuing at Rutgers University this upcoming fall.

I was offered a partial scholarship and have been given lots of encouragement by teachers, mentors, friends and family, so when the partial scholarship for the program was offered to me, I leapt at the chance and chose to pursue it with full faith.

Because it’s so intensive, every one day of class is the equivalent to a full week, I cut my work hours to two days a week. I can stay afloat this way, but I’m nervous that it might be financially stressful.

If anyone is willing to help offer a few dollars of support while I travel these intense Sanskrit waters, I would be so extremely grateful.

My return to school has been years in the making. I didn’t think I’d be able to ever go back, but the credit goes to the Higher Power to helping me move forward with this. Otherwise I’d have no movement at all on this endeavor, and that’s the reality of it. I’m leaving this gofundme open as a channel for financial help and indirectly asking people for their support without them feeling pressured.

thank you, thank you for anything you feel called to offer. May Krishna give you big hugs and a song in your heart.

Sincerely,

Natalie Cherrington Black
