Support Truly's Journey to Tsinghua University

Hello All!

My name is Truly Gregory, and I'm a recent college graduate from Middlebury College, with a major in Chinese and a 3.59 GPA. This year, I applied and was accepted into an amazing intensive Chinese language program called IUP, located at Tsinghua University, which is considered the Harvard of China. IUP is unique in that it is highly individualized, prioritizing a small classroom setting with a maximum of 3 students, and individual one-on-one tutorials. Moreover, Tsinghua is located in Beijing, the capital of China, which is rich with culture and history, making it the ideal study abroad destination. I intend to participate in the program for an academic year, which is why I'm reaching out for your support to help make this life-changing opportunity become possible!

From a young age, I've always been deeply interested in studying languages and cultures, which is how I came to pursue Chinese as my field of study in college. During my junior year, I was blessed with an opportunity to study abroad in Beijing and fell in love with the culture and people. Ever since, I've been dying to return to the city and country I fell in love with. My time in school has truly opened my eyes to the importance of building bridges across different cultures, and the IUP program would allow me to continue building worldwide connections while improving my Mandarin. After this program, I plan on pursuing academia and furthering my education in graduate school by studying Anthropology, Linguistics, and Chinese, hopefully attending a graduate program in China.

This opportunity will open new academic doors, fuel my passion for language and culture, and allow me to live my dreams. Your support will help cover travel, program costs, and living expenses. Any contribution, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to this dream.

Thank you for your support and helping me turn my dreams into reality!

Yours Truly,

Truly Gregory
