Help Ezequias to study at Brown University!

My name is Ezequias Jagge.

I live in a slum called Esqueleto, located in the city of Duque de Caxias, in the Baixada Fluminense region of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm graduating in Social Sciences, with a minor in Management and Evaluation of Public Policies, at PUC-Rio. Recently, I was the only Brazilian student accepted into the Master's Program in Urban Education Policy at Brown University, with a scholarship that covers a fair amount of the program's costs. As I come from a financially disadvantaged context in comparison with the US, I applied for other scholarships and part-time jobs on campus to supplement the rest of the costs, however, the results of these applications will only be disclosed during and after the first month of study.

I need your help to get started with my studies! The first short-term goal is to raise $8,000 to pay for the summer term. The long-term goal is to raise $32,000 to pay for the rest of the program plus living expenses.

Donate any amount you can and want to.

Share this campaign on your social media, with your friends and family, with everybody!

My career goal is to work designing and reshaping education policies in my country and around the world, to fulfill a lifetime commitment of giving back to students who face the same struggles as I did and still do. I believe good quality education should be accessible to all.

I know we can overcome this financial obstacle and many more together!

Thank you in advance! Let's do this!
