Help Abdelrahman attend Minerva University!

I'm Abdelrahman Soliman, an Egyptian student who has been admitted into Minerva University, one of the world's most innovative and rigorous colleges in San Francisco, California. I have always dreamed of studying computer science abroad to get access to cutting-edge research and educational resources, gaining insights and mentorship that can propel me to new heights. Studying at Minerva will allow me to achieve my dream of studying computer science in the world's largest tech hub, the Bay Area. Furthermore, by coming to California, I will get the chance to apply for more opportunities, such as research, internships, and on-campus job opportunities at Minerva, so studying at Minerva is not just an education at some college in the US. It’s a dream and a set of good opportunities for a better future for me. However, being an international student from a low-income background, I face significant financial obstacles that threaten my dream of attending Minerva. I hope to raise 2500$ to help cover my tuition, flight tickets, and visa fees, and I would be so grateful for any support you can offer!

Challenge:

Unfortunately, pursuing my dream of studying at Minerva comes with a significant financial burden. Even though I received a very good scholarship to cover most of my tuition and housing, I still need to cover the rest of my tuition fees and costs of obtaining a student visa and purchasing flights. These expenses are particularly challenging for me, as my family does not have the resources to help me out, and the financial situation in Egypt is getting worse everyday with access to U.S. dollars getting more and more limited due to the current financial crisis. Without additional funding, I am at risk of having to give up on my dream of attending Minerva, which would be devastating after all the hard work I have put in to get to this point.

So, I am asking for help to cover my tuition and costs for Minerva only for the first year just to get my foot in the door. And I will be doing my best to work and independently cover my fees for the remaining years

How You Can Help:

I hope to raise 2500$ to help me cover these expenses. Any amount you can give would be greatly appreciated and will go directly toward my tuition, flight tickets, and visa fees. Even a small donation can make a big difference and help me achieve my dreams. I would also be so grateful if you could share this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Every little bit helps, Thank you all.
