Although GW has pledged to cover all expenses for each Banaa scholar to attend GW, there are still many costs in Sudan that will require fundraising.
It will cost more than $7,000 to educate and transport Banaa scholars to the United States. For this, Weisman hopes to reach out to the student body and alumni for money.
"Our primary goal for the next year and half is to get them into an English program," said Weisman, who added that they will receive additional support from GW Media Relations.
Last week, Student Association President Lamar Thorpe invited Banaa leaders to give their project proposal at an executive meeting of the Student Association.
Banaa leaders asked the SA to help convince senators to introduce a resolution in support of the project.
"This is just another example of the type of students we are," said Thorpe in a phone interview. "We are young, politically minded men and women, and at the same time we try to change the world."
