Help me fund my Master's Degree in Finance
Hello, My name is Hady Abi Saleh and I am starting this page to help me raise funds to continue my education at Kozminski University in Warsaw Poland. I have been admitted to the Masters in Finance and Accounting program for the year 2022/2023. My master's program is a two years (4 semesters) program. The Target amount covers my tuition fees of approximately 13500$ (it changes due to the difference of exchange). As well as covering 1 year of expenses (rent + food + transportation).
Below you can find all the needed information about the master's I chose, Including tuition fees. https://www.kozminski.edu.pl/en/programs/graduate-programs-master/master-finance-and-accounting
I have chosen this masters due to its ranking in the Financial Times (#19 worldwide) and the work opportunities available at the corporate partners of the university (Citi bank, KPMG, Accenture).
Poland is relatively an inexpensive country to live in. I have settled for a budget of 500 $/month, which includes a Monthly transportation pass (30$), rent of 300$, and 170$ for groceries.
Another benefit of enrolling in this master's program is that I can study for the CFA certificate in parallel, which costs around 1500$ per year. This certificate is the most prestigious certificate in the world of finance, and along with this highly ranked master's, I believe I will have the right foundation to start a successful career in finance.
My country Lebanon is going through an economic and financial crisis, where our local currency has lost its value. ( in 2018 1$ = 1500 LBP ----> 2022: 1$ = 34000 LBP) and still counting. On top of that, Lebanese people have lost their life savings and their net worth, their money is stuck in their bank accounts and cannot be withdrawn. All of that alongside the great depression our economy is going through, it is hard to find a well-paying job. Our minimum wage (as of the moment of writing is 20$ PER MONTH).
