Fizza's Berkeley Dream

Hello,

I am Syeda Fizza Jafri, a sophomore majoring in Social Development and Policy at Habib University, with a minor in History and Comparative Literature. I am studying at Habib with a 75% merit scholarship, and I am honoured to announce that I have been selected as one of the top 10 students to study at the University of California, Berkeley for the Summer 2024 semester.

Berkeley is renowned as one of the top educational institutions globally, boasting an acceptance rate of 14%. Habib University stands as the sole university in Pakistan to partner with Berkeley, sending its top students through a rigorous application process that evaluates academic performance and professional experiences. I am deeply honoured to have been selected for the Summer Semester at Berkeley.

While I am thrilled to have this opportunity, I must mention that my admission to Berkeley is contingent upon self-funding. Regrettably, financial constraints prevent me from independently funding this program, prompting me to seek potential sponsors or funding to realise my dream.

I would be immensely grateful if you would consider contributing to making my dream a reality. Any contribution, big or small, matters to me, and I highly appreciate it. Your support means the world to me. If you are unable to contribute personally, please consider forwarding this message to individuals who may be able to assist and share it within your network.

Attached is my proposal describing me, my achievements, my goals for Berkeley, and more information: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i5Y-uw9NC4k9Du3zqB4q-vdTAIF-r811/view?usp=sharing

Given the chance to attend Berkeley, I am committed to maximising the resources, network, and experiences offered, and upon my return, I pledge to use what I have learned to positively impact my community.

Thank you for considering my request.

With gratitude,

Fizza
