Greetings! This campaign is to raise fund forliving cost to support my master study.

I am a college lecturer teaching Mathematics from Kuala Lumpur. In the past eight years of this exciting journey, it has truly been great joy to see the students I teach grow as I share my knowledge, as well as guiding and giving advice to young adults in life decision. I am constantly humbled and grateful to have such an opportunity to journey with them toward the end of their studies and be part of their lives.

As the years roll on, I grow in deep sense of my short-coming and great need to understand my subject deeper to be an excellent teacher, who not only cover required syllabus, but also expose students to greater appreciation of Mathematical knowledge and its application to various fields of human development.

You can also read my personal statement here.

At this point, I already accepted to study MA Mathematics at Katz School, Yeshiva University, New York.It is a coursework master with research component, that can be completed in 1-2 years time. I am also offered $6,000 scholarship to cover $33,000 tuition fee, and given assistantship worth up to $7,000 a year. Living cost in NY can be high, however discussion with a few friends who stayed there before shows that it is possible to live within $1,000 monthly.

While I am working on friendly loan to cover tuition and university fee, I hope that this campaign can help to provide for living expenses in NY for the first year, estimated at $12,000. Any amount received that exceed this target will be used for books and tuition.

How you can contribute:

1. Spread. Help me to publicize this through your facebook, twitter, instagram, etc... If possible, write a short testimony or paragraph on why would you encourage others to support me.

2. Donate. Each cent you contribute means I am a step nearer to the goal. You may donate through this page, or contribute offline to save card processing fees. Note that I have set minimum donation online through this page as $10, with good reason.

From previous campaign, this page is view by more than 8 thousands people. To achieve this goal of $12,000, I only need 1200 people to donate $10 each, that's about 1 in 7 person who view this page, and I believe that's workable!

3. Friendly loan. Consider giving me a friendly loan if you (or someone you know) have some extra fortune at hand and not using them in next few years. We may discuss how repayment can be made after earning the degree.

Do not feel obligated. Nonetheless, know from the bottom of my heart that I am deeply grateful of your kindness, no matter it is helping in publicity or chip in your donation, whether large or small, or introducing someone willing to provide a friendly loan. Gracias.

If you would like to get in touch with me or know more about my dream, please feel free to drop a message here with your email/contact, i'll respond soon! ^^

  • Mr Denis, I've been telling parents about your fundraising campaign, and they think its a meaningful cause so they agreed to contribute. We hope it'll help you reach your target amount. I think you are a great lecturer, because you're always willing to share your life experiences with us, hoping to make us better people, seeking to help us improve not just in our grades but our character as well. You also inspire us with your passion for mathematics. You taught me to appreciate my privilege and to be humble, not over confident with my abilities. Every one of those 'special' classes on the last day of semesters where you tell us to reflect on our lives always motivated me to work harder the next semester. I will definitely work hard to catch up in my further maths and do my best in A2. Hope we'll make you proud sir! Lastly, I sincerely hope your campaign will be a success and you will be able to study at ANU. Nevertheless, all the best for your future Mr Denis! Thank you for touching our lives.

MA Mathematics in Katz, Yeshiva University

Update posted by Denis Kan at 04:46 am

Dear all, just to clarify as well as follow up on previous update.Toward the end of 2017, I have update here that ANU plan was a no go, as the fund raised was insufficient to carry on next journey. As the offer was already deferred once, it cannot be further. . . . .

  • Just yesterday i was revising on Matrices in 2nd Year Mathematics Module, and thought to myself "Damn, I've learnt all these during college time. How nostalgic." Thank you for your teachings 2-3 years back, and all the best with your campaign :) P.S. Why did you not use a 1401D class photo? jk

  • Hi Mr Denis! I am still very grateful for all the teaching and knowledge you have imparted on me during your further math classes as it has and is still helping me much during my first year of uni. And also for believing in my abilities and forecasting me A* for further math even when i got a C for trials . You are an extremely amazing,dedicated and kind hearted teacher. All the best for your masters and i hope you get enough funds to pursue your dreams! :)

  • Overwhelmed... I think this is the word that best describe my feeling... Thanks to you all, many of you choose to donate anonymously so i’m not gonna mention names, but i know who you all are... Thanks for taking extra time to read and help to promote when you are in exam season (or soon), and donating while you are still students, I actually felt embarrassed cause as your lecturer I should be blessing your life but now i’m receiving your kindnesses, and proud for you all at the same time! (weird feeling huh?) Some of you were in my class, 1401, 1501 (thx Sean for the extra comments and encouragement), 1601(thx wilson for the blessing, and study hard for you A2 please!), some dropped out, and some from CF, and yet some not even from my class! Some not student... (LEL) Although still some distance from the aims, but really, for this "first blood" (any dota geek here?) Thanks you all first, and He remembers your kindness and reward you all accordingly!
