Hi everyone, my name is Advicaa Verma. I’ve recently been offered a place at King’s College London to study International Relations—a dream I’ve worked toward throughout my entire academic career.

As a citizen of India, I face a challenge. While I have the merit to attend one of the world’s leading institutions for global politics, I am ineligible for UK student loans and have exhausted all local scholarship options. To take my seat this semester, I need to raise more than $40,000.

I promise to pay this kindness forward through my future work in the field. Every dollar brings me closer to the classroom. Thank you for believing in me!
