Help me get to AADA in New York
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Katie Jo and I was recently accepted into The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York! For those who don't know me, I am 18 years old and I have been acting since the age of 9, and for the last three years I have been in full time training at The Miskin Theatre and have had the time of my life creating and being surrounded by the greatest people who are all passionate about their craft.
AADA was the first acting school to be established in America and is home to many Academy Award winning actors – to name a few; Jessica Chastain, Grace Kelly, Danny DeVito, Kim Cattrall, Paul Rudd, Anne Hathaway. If that's not enough, check out the website for more information: http://www.aada.edu/home/home.html Being accepted into AADA was the most incredible feeling and one I will never forget, however I would hate to see this once in a lifetime opportunity be taken away from me due to the costs. Below is a breakdown of the costs that the academy have given as an estimation;
Tuition including scholarship - $26024 = £19,794
Books and Supplies (estimated) - $570
Housing at Academy (half share, 9 months) - $17,775 = £13,842
Meals & Personal Costs - $3000 = £2,336
Student Medical Insurance (estimated cost if student enrolls in coverage plan)* $1,280 = £997
TOTAL - $48,649 = £37,887
For those of you that do know me, you are aware that I'm passionate about my what I do and that I am determined to do the best I can, not only for myself, but for those around me. So, if you would like to help, or know of anyone that may be interested, please donate and I promise with all my heart I will make you proud! Any possible contribution would obviously be greatly received. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
