Support Aya's Neuroscience Dream at Minerva

Help Fulfill Aya's Dream of Studying Neuroscience at Minerva University

Hello! I am Aya Zayan, a senior at Alexandria STEM School. I hope this message finds you well. First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support. I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea for help. I have recently been accepted into Minerva University in San Francisco, an institution that embodies innovation and excellence with a mere 1% acceptance rate, even more inclusive than Harvard! This acceptance represents the culmination of years of relentless effort and countless sacrifices. In Minerva, we learn in 6 different countries which makes it the most selective university in the world, and I was able to be accepted.

However, despite my unwavering determination, I am confronted with significant financial hurdles that threaten to derail my dreams. I have already sacrificed so much to reach this point, yet the costs associated with tuition, visas, and travel expenses remain daunting. This situation places additional strain on my family finances, making it difficult for me to seek the support needed without overburdening them further.

I am urgently seeking your assistance, no matter how small. Your support could make a world of difference by alleviating some of the financial burden, whether it's contributing towards tickets, aiding with visa expenses, or providing support for my family's contribution. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me closer to fulfilling my lifelong dream – an opportunity I consider once-in-a-lifetime.

I applied to over 42 universities in the US, receiving minimal financial aid offers from some and being waitlisted and rejected by others. Despite Minerva offering me only a partial scholarship, I am determined to pursue this opportunity as it resonates deeply with my aspirations and values.

Your generosity will not go unnoticed to help me achieve my dream to study neuroscience and benefit Egypt and beyond. I promise to pay it forward by working diligently and, when I am able, supporting others in their pursuit of their dreams. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness and opportunity, ensuring that no dream goes unrealized due to financial barriers.

Please consider extending your support as soon as possible. Your belief in me and your willingness to help mean everything. I want to mention that I was an ambassador of Egypt before at the largest pre-college science and engineering fair 2023, held in Texas, USA with my biochemistry research paper to help villages and hamlets be more self-sufficient, by accessing them to clean water and soil, antioxidant solutions to fight chronic diseases, bioethanol as a source of energy, and antifungal and antibacterial solutions.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering how you can make a profound impact on my journey. Should you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
