International student accepted into University of Delaware trying to make graduate school financially possible
A few months ago, I was accepted into the Financial Services Analytics master’s program at the University of Delaware with a partial scholarship.
Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out how to realistically make graduate school possible financially as an international student while continuing to work and pursue opportunities in analytics and finance.
Like many students, I’ve been exploring scholarships, organizations, networking opportunities, and different ways to cover the very high costs associated with graduate education in the U.S., especially once housing, health insurance, transportation, and living expenses are included.
Recently, I decided to start a GoFundMe campaign while continuing to look for guidance, connections, and advice from people who may have gone through similar situations, especially international or first-generation graduate students.
At this point, I’m honestly looking as much for visibility, advice, networking, and recommendations as I am for financial support.
If anyone has suggestions regarding organizations, outreach strategies, professional connections, or ways to expand visibility for situations like this, I would sincerely appreciate it.
And if anyone is interested, this is the campaign I recently launched:
