Karina's Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy

Hi! I'm Karina Aquiahuatl Villagrán (she/ella). I'm fundraising for my remaining fall-semester fees, which can keep me from continuing my next semester in January.

In one year as an occupational therapy (OT) student, I've learned incredible mental and physical rehabilitation skills for adolescents, adults, and elders. In January, the plan is to learn about OT for children, who are my original inspiration for choosing this profession! Before I can look forward to the hands-on experience with the little ones, I need to pay these fees first.

Between my 20-hour job as a graduate assistant and my scholarship award, I have about $10,000 less to pay out of pocket! However, I'm having trouble securing scholarships for the fall semester and graduate students without permanent immigration status. Every penny (except for GoFundMe charges) goes toward my tuition fees.

I appreciate you for reading. Please consider donating! I also welcome any information on scholarships that meet the criteria above.
