Please help fund my study! I have been accepted as 1 of 120 students in the prestigious College Year in Athens Study Abroad program! I am trying my hardest to raise money as this will be an expensive undertaking. In total estimated costs, it will be about $25,400. Any little bit helps, thank you for your contribution! I will list a break down of total estimated costs and budget below.

After studying Classics for the last 2 years at Ole Miss, I have found that I am outgrowing the classroom. I simply want more. I want the Parthenon and the Erectheion atop the Acropolis overlooking the Athenian skyline to BE my classroom, as well as the battlegrounds at Thermopylae on the breathtaking Gulf of Malis , the Palace at Knossos on the beautiful island of Crete, and the sanctuary of Apollo at the scenic sight of Delphi at Mount Parnassus. Greece is something that I not only love because of academic or intellectual pursuits, but it is also something that is a part of me. I am of Greek blood through my mother, but a love for Greece is something much deeper than that. It is spiritual, a wave which overtakes the senses. It is a fire burning within the soul. This is an experience I have been longing for throughout my life. The extent at which my horizons will be broadened and the immersion in a society perhaps different from one's home will be immense. This is a dream that I wish to come true. Through your help, you can make this dream become a reality. Thank you.
