Paul has recently been named one of only thirty international candidates accepted into the Heidelberg University's Master of American Studies program. This year and a half program will place Paul right in the center of Europe. Heidelberg University was built in 1386, making it the oldest university in Germany. The prestigious university ranks very highly against the top schools in the world and will certainly help Paul become a valuable asset in his career choice. Being an international student however, means that Paul will not have much access to financial aid such as school loans. Because of this, he is trying to recruit the help of all his friends and family. If there is anybody out there generous enough to want to help support Paul's year and a half stay in Europe, he or she can support here by making a small donation or by simply sharing this page with their internet network. Every single penny counts and is greatly appreciated!! Do not worry, I have been saving. Still what I have saved is only a small fraction of what I will need to fulfill the program. Of course I do plan on working while in Heidelberg but student work is restricted so I'm not quite sure yet how supplemental my income will be. All the funds raised here will be put towards things like tuition, books, rent, school fees, and food. Not to much room for luxury. Thank you for taking the time to read this message from Paul M Bacharach.
