Help Romina attend her dream school!
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Romina Khodaverdy, and I am a rising junior who has been accepted into Idyllwild Arts Academy! I have dreamed of attending IAA for ages, and was even admitted two years ago for my freshman year, but I was unable to attend due to my family's financial situation.
I applied to IAA two months ago, praying that I might be able to attend for my last two years of high school, and by some good fortune, they had a spot for me. I made this gofundme because although IAA was very generous with their financial aid offer, there are additional expenses and fees tuition doesn't cover that my family cannot afford, so I am asking for the help of my community.
What drew me to IAA in the first place was my passion for theater and my love of the arts that has been alive in me for as long as I could remember. I am a part of the Theater Conservatory at my current school, I received a full scholarship to attend the Carnegie Mellon University summer theater intensive, and a partial scholarship to NYU Tish summer theater program (unfortunately because of Covid-19 I was unable to attend either one).
I have grown so much as a performer since applying for my freshman year, and I believe that attending Idyllwild Arts Academy would be an incredible experience for me, even if I only attend for two years. In reality, we do need more money than what we're asking for, but even the smallest donation would be a tremendous help :)Thank you!
