give your support

On August 20, I fly to New York City where I will be starting graduate school on September 7.
I will be working towards a Master's in Music, focusing on classical voice. Manahattan School of Music is the place and my teacher is Mignon Dunn. I will paste a recording of her singing with Martina Arroyo in the 1980s. I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to go to MSM, however, the conservatory couldn't offer many scholarships this year. only 45% of students received any aid--most of which goes to undergraduate students. I was told that although my audition was good and I met the requirements, there was not enough money to give. Tuition for one year is $33,600. I have had to take out loans and am willing to be in debt, but any amount of support given will be used for medicine, buying a matress and other necessities, affording rent and utilities until loans are received at the end of September, and general living expenses like food, which is quite important. I could truly use the help. Graduate school at a conservatory is expensive and I recognized the hardship before I accepted the offer to go to MSM.
