Hi, I’m Selki Yang — also known as Eva — a guitarist and composer from South Korea.

I’ve spent the past 23 years of my life deeply devoted to music and the guitar. What started as a passion for progressive rock eventually led me to the world of jazz, and finally to Berklee College of Music, where I’ve had the honor of studying among some of the most inspiring musicians from around the world.

As of now, I’ve completed 5 semesters in the Guitar Performance major. I have just 4 semesters left to graduate.But due to serious financial difficulties, I was forced to pause my education and return to Korea.

Now, I’m asking for your help to return and complete what I started.


💡 Why I Need Your Support

The annual cost at Berklee — including tuition, housing, and basic living expenses — is approximately $82,302.For 4 remaining semesters (2 academic years), the total cost comes to $164,604.

I’ve been awarded a $24,000-per-year scholarship, which reduces the cost by $48,000.

That leaves a remaining gap of roughly $100,000, which I’m now trying to raise through GoFundMe.This amount will cover not only tuition but also housing, food, books, insurance, and visa-related expenses.


✨ About Me

  • I’m a self-taught guitarist and English speaker.

  • Before Berklee, I had no access to formal music education.

  • I was raised by a single mother who still depends on welfare.

  • I am a first-generation college student.

  • Music is not just my dream — it is my voice, my healing, and my purpose.

💌 How You Can Help

  • Any donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to returning to Berklee.

  • If you can’t donate, simply sharing my campaign on social media would mean so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I believe music has the power to change lives — because it changed mine.


With heartfelt gratitude,

Selki Yang (Eva)
