I wish to fund my a university-led field trip to Greece which is also an honours-level paper, which contributes to my eventual goal of a PhD
International
I am entering my final year of undergrad with a triple major in Classics, Greek, and Latin, and am looking to help fund my participation in the end of year Greek Field Trip, which, if I am able to fund it, will be my first papers for Honours level, and will help contextualise the last 3 years of study and give me a chance to see the focus of my study up close, which will be helpful as I intend to continue on to PhD in the future, and will also fulfil a long-held dream of visiting these ancient sites.
The field trip is a 5 week trip around Greece through the university and is a full paper, so in addition to sightseeing, it also involves research and presenting that research, which will improve my presentation skills by giving me a chance to present within an environment with a trusted group of people. I currently have a fear of public speaking, but intend to work as a lecturer later and need all the practice speaking that I can get!
It will also give me the more general opportunity to visit another country, which is an important life experience as it helps expand my horizons.
I am currently looking for a job and will continue to do so. However, I have difficulty standing for long periods of time due to permanent injuries resulting from a car crash, and as such have had difficulty finding work which fits around the 10+ hours a day that I spend studying, as flexible retail positions often require long periods of standing and office jobs often require more hours than I am able to put in in addition to my studies. As a result, I have had difficulty finding opportunities to save the required funds, and am turning here as a last resort to do some background fundraising while I continue to look for a stable source of income.
I will fund the trip itself, which covers airfares, accommodation, transport, etc.
In the case of exceeding the goal/unable to go, I would like the opportunity to chip away at my $45k student loan or use it to help someone who requires financial aid.
