In an age where everything from a Nikola Tesla museum to a public statue of Robocop can be crowdsourced, one student has applied this idea to funding his tuition.
Kambi Gathesha is a General Studies student who, after following an eclectic path that includes studying at Julliard and pursuing a career in dance and acting, realized that scholarship was his true passion.
A year and half away from completing his degree, however, Gathesha ran out of funds --- and GS financial aid was unable to help. However, rather than give up, he has taken his struggle to crowdsourcing site gofundme.com. His fundraising page asks that “family, colleagues, professors, and acquaintances” to help him raise the $40,000 he needs for tuition.
