Rostislav chose to pursue his path in Computer Science at the prestigious Arizona State University, USA with a maximum scholarship for international students. After the very first semester he was noticed and offered to continue his studies as an honors student at Barrett, The Honors College of the University. Rostislav completed his first year of study with a 3.65 out of 4.00 GPA, which took him to the top of the student body. This success did not go unnoticed and he was offered a job as an assistant professor of Computer Science.

He founded the Coalition of European Students, of which he is president. The coalition aims to promote European culture through various initiatives, creating a society of European students, etc. He actively participates in events organized by the Bulgarian Society of Arizona, which aim to promote Bulgarian culture and build a healthy Bulgarian community in Arizona. During the second semester of his studies, Rostislav's presentation on "Hadzhi Dimitar by Hristo Botev" was chosen to be presented by him to his fellow students, which was highly appreciated by the students and faculty.

Rostislav will finish his second year this year, we as parents are doing our best for him to continue following his path. For two years we have managed the extra payments of semesters, dormitory, accommodation, food and other expenses, but we will not be able to manage financially on our own for the next two years of his studies. We need your financial support for Rostislav to continue to follow his dreams and make Bulgaria famous.

For two years we have managed on our own with the extra payments of semesters, dormitory, accommodation, food and other expenses. Unfortunately we will not be able to manage financially on our own for the next two years of his studies.

The tuition per year is $35,650, health insurance is $2,935, living expenses (food, lodging, books, etc.) amount to $22,903. The scholarship granted by the university is worth 14 500 dollars. For us, there remains an annual supplementary payment of $46,988.

Rostislav is working and at this point is able to cover some of his housing, utilities, food, and books. The target amount is to cover tuition next semester.
