Dear,
I have been appointed by a friend that this is a right place to start my scholarship search; actually he recommended contacting Elizabeth Chung and asking her for help. I really hope you can at least show me the way I need to look at things, since I am getting kind of desperate.
Last year I received a leadership scholarship sponsored by United States Department, to spend one year in American High School; originally I am from Serbia, Novi Sad. I came to United States with a J-1 visa, managed to finish High School early, and apply for one of the States Universities (ASU, to be exact). The only problem is that I did not plan to stay in America at the beginning- so I applied really late, and got accepted pretty recently. As being an exchange student, my tuition is quite high (around $30000) and Universities do not give tuition wavers to International/exchange students. I have a 4.00 GPA, lots of diplomas from mathematical competitions mostly state level (Republicka takmicenja), SAT and TOEFL done... I do not want to give up on my dreams, and that is to continue my education in America. I worked really hard all my life and I am ready to put up a fight in order to realize my plans, and finish my undergraduate studies at pre med Arizona State University... I would highly appreciate if you have any suggestions, and thank you in advanced for your time.
Sincerely yours,
Ivana
