Hello from Uzbekistan!
I have a passion to study the Earth system for the benefit of society, particularly #glaciers and #polar regions.
Going through an unwanted sequence of “gap years” away from academia and multiple unsuccessful attempts to get funding/scholarships from my country and universities I was admitted to since 2019, I decided to turn to the world to ask for help in #fundraising so I can afford the Joint Master's program I am offered at #tudelft, #ethzurich and #rwthaachen in Applied Geophysics.
The program starts in fall 2022 and the payment of EUR 31,550 is due by 1 August 2022.
This GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign is organized by my friend William Harcourt from Scotland as the last resort opportunity for this year's intake. More than 7 requests for funding I made to funding agencies, foundations and individuals in Uzbekistan have been rejected due to my ineligibility or ignored. Besides, as a developing country, Uzbekistan is not interested in polar research.
In addition, my 8 fully-funded PhD applications in the US and Europe have been rejected due to very tough competition (I am not the best - I admit), while the only excellence scholarship I was eligible to at TU Delft awarded only 1 scholarship for the 2022-24 cohort. Most of the time, I find myself ineligible to scholarships (by citizenship / student status / field, etc.) and marginalized in polar research as I have never come across a polar scientist from Uzbekistan or Central Asia.
Dear caring people!
Please help me attend the grad school and join me in this quest for inclusive education and research by:

- posting this campaign with your network and telling people to share further
- sharing with individual influencers so they can spread the word further.
