Hi, I'm David, an interior architecture student at East Tennessee State University. I have an exciting opportunity to study abroad in Rome, Italy, for six weeks this summer. This program will allow me to learn architecture while being immersed in the rich cultural and architectural history of one of the most iconic cities in the world. Studying in Rome will give me hands-on experience, access to inspiring landmarks, and the chance to bring what I studied there and implement it into a project on the ETSU campus. At first, I thought the chance of going was out of reach because of the cost, but I have worked hard and saved money to pay for flights and a portion of the trip already. I have also written several essays and applied for multiple scholarships to further help fund my education. However, I still need financial assistance to cover the remaining costs, including tuition, travel, and living expenses while there. Your contribution would support my academic journey and also help me grow both personally and professionally. Any support is deeply appreciated as I take this next step in my education and career.

Thank you for believing in me and supporting my education and love for art and design. I can't wait to share my journey with you all!
