Hello everyone, I’m Pelin, a 25-year-old lawyer from Istanbul. I have been admitted to LLM program in NYU. The tuition fee, combined with high living expenses and other fees, amounts to 130,000+ USD according to the university’s estimate. It is impossible for me to afford this alone, so I am here to ask for your help.

A little about me: I ranked 575th among over two million applicants in the highly competitive University Entrance Exam. This achievement earned me a 100% scholarship to Özyeğin University Faculty of Law, where I graduated in just 2.5 years - instead of the standard 4-year timeline. I earned a GPA of 3.58/4.00 and ranked second in my faculty, one of only two students to graduate with High Honors.

I need LLM to cure my deficiency in order to become eligible for New York State Bar Exam. I couldn’t find any eligible scholarships, as a last resort I decided to give this platform a shot.

If you are considering donating but have any concerns, I would be happy to provide supporting documentation.

If you could help me by donating or sharing, I would be truly grateful. Thank you all :)
