“ During my study years in the US, I experienced valuable academic

and social experiences… These have significantly contributed and shaped my academic and public career. I would like to express my appreciation to AICEF for providing me the scholarship that had facilitated greatly my study years in the US.

“ Being able to study at Juilliard is a BIG privilege… I had a chance

to meet, interact, watch, and listen to passionate artists from the dance division, drama division, and of course the music division.

Through Juilliard, I was able to study privately with one of my all-time favorite jazz pianist, Kenny Barron, and participated in a master class with Wynton Marsalis.

AICEF support has made it easier for me to focus on my craft while I was in school without worrying about how to make a living. Thanks, AICEF!
