Rima, Louise O. Fresco Fund recipient
Rima had absolutely no means of assistance to complete her final year of the BSc Environmental Sciences. Thanks to a contribution from the Louise O. Fresco Fund, she was able to forget her financial stress and complete her final year.
A lot of students go through financial stress to the point of dropping out, especially international students as we don’t even get the chance to work. I think this fund offers good help to people who need it.
"I am Rima and I am currently in my third and final year in the BSc Environmental Sciences. My financial situation was so urgent as I absolutely had no means of help and I would have had to not finish my studies because of this. I heard about the fund at first through my study advisor to whom I explained my situation and thought that I was fit for this support."
"When I heard about the outcome I got so relieved, because I was overstressed about my finances and constantly looking for alternatives. But what I received can help me enough and gain me a lot of time to fill the small gap that’s left."
"I think that the initiative of the Louise O. Fresco is very helpful to me and a lot of others. A lot of students go through financial stress to the point of dropping out, especially international students as we don’t even get the chance to work. I think this fund offers good help to people who need it."
"Another thing I would like to mention is that I appreciate the effort made to make sure that I am fit for the support. There have been a lot of checks over my bank statement and financial means which is important to make sure to give money to the right people."
