My Travel Story

The purpose of this campaign is to raise money for the opportunity to study abroad for 3 weeks in May of 2018. I am making an effort to pay my expenses by working as an intern at an interior design company, but I will need additional assistance in raising the funds for this experience.

I am a Junior at North Carolina State University, majoring in Business Administration, with plans to enroll in Meredith College after graduation from NCSU for a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design. This 3-week study abroad program will give me credit hours I need toward graduation. I will also be able to visit a part of the world that I would not normally be able to see, learn about different cultures, and various types of architecture and design styles. It will enhance my knowledge about the customs and lifestyles in Europe that I will be able to bring back with me to enrich my ability to be the type of creative designer I wish to be.

This cost includes the non-refundable application charge
• Six (6) credits of tuition
• Accommodations in a 4- or 6-people unit with kitchenette
• Welcome and Farewell dinners and some meals
• International accident/health insurance coverage
• Transportation for the group excursions
• Entrance fees to program excursions and attractions
I will need to submit my payment by February 15, 2018.

Requirements for the study abroad program is a 2.0 GPA, which I currently have a 3.61 GPA and have been on the Dean's List for 3 of my 4 completed semesters.
