Australia Scholar Laureate Trip

Hi, my name is Leah. I was recently nominated by an educator for my academic excellence in college (4.0 GPA) for an International Scholar Laureate trip to Australia. On this trip I will spend 7 days with 45-50 other students from around the USA studying international business, marketing, and communications. During my stay in Australia, I will hear lectures at several of the colleges and be assigned a team case study to work on. Our team will then present an advertising plan to a team of executives. This trip would be a life changing trip, personally and professionally. Being nominated and selected based on my leadership and academic standing is an honor and I would love to be able to take advantage of this opportunity. I started this page because I require some assistance funding this trip.  Please see the agenda below. Any amount would help tremendously and would be greatly appreciated. The trip will cost around $6,000+ with all flights and ground transportation, of which, I am putting $2,500 of my own money up front on the trip.

Thank you, 

Leah
