Please help young, perspective pianist!
Donation protected
My name is Andrej Markovic, and I am a 19 year old pianist from Belgrade, Serbia.
I have won over 40 first prizes and laureates, in Serbia and internationally.
In January 2020, I applied and auditioned for the entrance exam at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Of over 200 candidates at the examination, only two were admitted and I was the only one who received a full four-year scholarship of $192,000. This scholarship award is rewarded very rarely. The scholarship covers the cost of tuition, but NOT the cost of living on campus.
Unfortunately, I lost my father January 31, 2020, during the audition process. And now, all financial responsibility falls on my mother who still lives in Serbia. My mother's salary in Serbia is not enough to cover the expenses of living on-campus, which are:
- a room for $1675 per month,
- health insurance premium $100 per month, and
- food in the student cafeteria approximately $500 per month.
A total of $18,200. So, between September 15, 2020 and May 15, 2021, I will need $2,275 a month, which is a total of $ 18,200 in eight months for on campus expenses, which leads me to my request and plea.
This is an opportunity which happens once in a lifetime and I have worked very long and many years for this experience. Therefore, I humbly ask for assistance and any amount of donation help to enable me to further develop my talent at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. This big stepping stone will ultimately help me to later continue with master's studies and a doctorate, meanwhile to attend and compete at major world competitions, such as "Chopin's Competition” in Warsaw, “Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and so many others.
For your consideration and donation, I thank you in advance and am grateful for this opportunity.
All donations will go to Mr .Radmilo Bodiroga`s bank account. After receiving donations Radmilo will tranfer money from his bank account to my bank account. Radmilo is my friend, who is US citizen and has a social security number. Since, i am not US citizen and don`t have social security number, my donations needs to be transfered in this way, because I am coming from country where GoFundme is not available.
Ja sam Andrej Marković, pijanista iz Beograda, i imam 19 godina.
Imam preko 40 prvih nagrada, pobeda i laureata, kako u Srbiji, pa tako u inostranstvu.
Položio sam prijemni ispit na San Francisco Conservatory Of Music. Na prijemnom je bilo pereko 200 kandidata, a primljeno je samo dvoje, među kojima sam jedini dobio punu stipendiju za 4 godine u iznosu od 192 000 dolara, koja se dodeljuje veoma retko. Stipendija pokriva troškove fakulteta, ali NE i troškove stanovanja na kampusu fakulteta.
Ostao sam bez oca 31. januara, baš za vreme mog prijemnog ispita u San Francisku i sve se svelo na majku. Plata moje majke u Srbiji nije dovoljna da pokrije ove troškove:
-soba koja košta mesečno $1675,
- zdravstveno osiguranje $100 mesečno i
- za ishranu u studentskoj menzi $ 500 mesečno, što je ukupno $18,200.
Dakle, između 15. septembra 2020 i 15 maja 2021 potrebno mi je da mesečno platim $2,275 dolara, što je za osam meseci ukupno $18,200. Prve godine studiranja nije mi dozvoljen rad u SAD, pa ne mogu sam da pokrijem ove troškove.
Molim Vas da mi pomognete, jer mi je ovo prilika koja se dešava jednom u zivotu. Vase donacije bi mi omugucile da se ostvarim kao pijanista, I da kasnije odem na master studije i doktorat, kao i velika svetska takmicenja kao sto su “Sopenovo takmicenje u Varsavi”, “Van Clibur” i ostala.
Za vaše donacije i pomoć, hvala vam unapred, i zahvalan sam svima za ovu veliku priliku.
