Jade's Cambridge Fund

Hello Everyone!! Thank you for visiting my campaign page. I am so excited that you are thinking about helping me reach my goal of studying at the University of Cambridge in the UK.

My name is Jade and I am from Johannesburg South Africa. I have always loved academics and been a top achiever, finishing first in my grade in high school at St Catherine's Convent Florida, as well as graduating from the University of Cape Town with an honours degree in Chemical Engineering at the end of 2014.

As the culmination of many years of hard work, I have been accepted to study at the University of Cambridge to complete a one year taught Masters. This has been a lifelong dream of mine. The Masters is in entrepreneurial and industrial engineering, and the course could not be better suited to my future career goals.

Though I applied to a number of scholarships, studentships and companies to fund my education, I have not yet been able to raise the full amount.  The University of Cambridge is holding my place until October 2015, when the course starts, so I have a little time to make a final effort to raise the money. 

While the total amount required for the course and living expenses is 40 838 pounds, I intend to match whatever is raised on this site via savings and scholarships. So essentially, I need to raise about 20 000 pounds in the coming few months. 

I really appreciate your time and support and thank you so much for donting to my cause!

I have kept this description short to save your time, but if you would like to know any more about me, the request or the course, please feel free to send your questions through my gofundme campaign page.
