Hi, I’m Nada, an Egyptian girl with big dreams who is only one step away from achieving them.

I got accepted into my dream Master’s program at the University of Bologna “CLAMSEI – Business Analytics”. I also won the ER.GO scholarship, which covers my tuition and provides monthly support.

However, the first installment only arrives in Jan 2026, while my program starts in Oct 2025. This leaves me with a 3-month financial gap (Oct – Nov – Dec) to cover flights, visa, rent, food, and transportation.

About me:

My name is Nada Mostafa, 27 years old. I graduated top of my class in Business Administration (GPA: 4.0/4.0) and worked really hard since high school to reach this point despite limited support.

Even though my challenges of C-PTSD and depression, I always dreamt of doing my Master’s in a prestigious university and relocate abroad to offer to myself -& my upcoming children one day- a better life that I deserve.

Currently, I work as a Teaching Assistant, where I teach Entrepreneurship and Principles of Marketing to college students. My biggest joy is mentoring them about scholarships and showing them that there are many paths to success, not just the narrow ones society often dictates.

I’m also passionate about cultural exchange: I volunteer as a free food tour guide in Egypt, helping foreigners experience my country without getting scammed.

Why I need your help and how I will utilize it? (Oct–Dec 2025):

• Enrollment fees - Uni: €160

• Visa & embassy fees: €200

• Flights (Cairo to Bologna): €250–€400

• Residence permit & documents: €250

• Accommodation (for 3 months): €1,500 including utilities & obligatory heating expenses

• Groceries (for 3 months): €450

• Annual Transportation card + Sim Card: €200

• Study materials & Supplies.: €50

• Annual medical insurance: €700

Total: ~€3,910 (estimate)

The remaining amount I am asking for will serve as an emergency fund and help me stay stable in case of unexpected expenses. This also includes €600 for accommodation insurance, as homeowners in Bologna usually require two months’ insurance in advance.

Because of Egypt’s economy, €5,000 equals EGP 282,200 which means 2.5 years of my entire salary without spending any penny -impossible for me to save in time.

How this opportunity will shape my present & future?

This Master’s is more than just a degree for me, it’s the key to unlocking the future I have been fighting for since high school.

Yes, it will equip me with the knowledge and tools I need to become a strong Business Analyst, sharpening my analytical skills to help companies solve problems and make smarter decisions. But it means more than that.

This program will open the door for me to relocate and work in Europe, giving me the chance to finally secure a high-paying job that brings both stability and growth. And beyond career and money, it’s about feeding my curious soul. I’ve always dreamed of traveling freely, discovering new cultures, and experiencing the world without limits. This opportunity is what can turn that lifelong dream into reality.

How I’ll pay it forward:

This degree is not just for me, it’s for everyone who believes in me. As I plan to give your kindness back to other youngsters through:

• Mentoring younger Egyptian students about scholarships.

• Sharing weekly insights on my YouTube channel (volunteering, courses, building strong profiles).

• Publishing a free step-by-step e-book for students from developing countries on studying abroad in Italy.

So, by empowering me, you’re also helping the next generation access better education and brighter futures.
