My semester abroad would not be possible without the support of friends and family due to a lack of funding from the state and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Since Illinois’s budget for funding higher education decreased since last year, I will not receive all my funding for school and my semester abroad.

The approximate cost for my semester is $10,000. Yes, this seems like a lot; however, studying abroad is cheaper than a normal semester at the University of Illinois! The only problem is that the financial aid has decreased due to our state budget here in Illinois. Luckily I have already been awarded two additional scholarships! In the end, I must fund $4,000 to make everything possible.
