Ishmael's Dream at Oxford
Donation protected
Hello there, Potential Supporter!
My name is Ishmael Muhammad, and I am currently a sophomore Professional Theatre student at North Carolina A&T State University. I have always dreamed of being a successful professional actor, and I just received amazing news bringing me one step closer towards realizing this dream. I have been admitted into the Midsummer in Oxford Program hosted by the British American Drama Academy in association with the Yale School of Drama. This program will allow me to study both classical and contemporary theatre for over a month in Oxford, United Kingdom. Hundreds of actors auditioned from all over the America, and I am blessed to be among the selected few who received admittance. It is a tremendous honor; only 90 students are selected nationwide to attend from undergraduate and graduate programs. Though this is an incredible opportunity, I will not be able to attend if I cannot afford the expenses for the program.
Tuition is $3960 and Room and Board is $2990. Airfare will cost $1500. I need to raise around $8,500 to attend. The Tuition payment is due by April 30th, and the Room and Board Fee is due by May 15th. I will need your help as well to make this dream possible for me. Sponsorship of any amount would be extremely appreciated. I am eternally grateful for all of your love and support.
Sincerely,
Ishmael Muhammad
