<div>War has already taken so much from me and my family. But in the middle of all the loss, I received a light of hope; I have been awarded the Schlumberger Scholarship to pursue my PhD at the University of Aberdeen, UK, starting in October 2025. A dream I worked so hard for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Alaa Mohammed Ali, and this opportunity is not only my dream come true, but also a chance to rebuild my future and serve others through my research.
</div>
<div>The challenge I am facing now is heartbreaking; the scholarship does not cover visa and health insurance costs for myself, my husband, and our newborn baby. These expenses are extremely high:
</div>
<div>Health insurance (per person): £2,716 (3830$)
</div>
<div>Visa (per person): £525 (700$)
</div>
<div>Not including flight tickets.
</div>
<div>For the three of us, the total cost is almost (15000$), which is really overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I cannot start this new chapter without my family by my side. That is why I am reaching out, with hope and humility, asking for your support.
</div>
<div>Every contribution, big or small, will go directly toward covering these essential costs and help me begin my PhD on time.
</div>
<div>Your kindness will support me not only as a mother and a scholar, but also as someone who dreams of giving back to the world through research and education. My PhD research is in STEM, focusing on sustainable building materials, eco-friendly solutions that can support rebuilding communities and improving lives after war. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart thank you for helping us hold onto this dream. Your donation or even just sharing this campaign means more than words can express.
</div>
