From Hope to Hall Pass – Fund My First Semester

With deep gratitude and hope, I’m reaching out for your support in helping me begin my undergraduate studies at Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) in Japan.

After achieving 4 As in my A-Level exams, and being accepted to the University of Colombo, financial hardship within the family prevented me from pursuing it. Since then, I’ve been working as a private tutor—never letting go of my dream. This year, I was honored to be accepted into the competitive Bachelor's program at KUAS.

Thanks to years of saving, I’ve already covered the admission fee AUD 3000 and am able to cover my initial travel and living expenses. Now, I’m humbly seeking support to meet the remaining first semester tuition of AUD 7500, which is due by April 25, 2025 and impossible for me to achieve independently.

While I did not receive an upfront scholarship, KUAS offers financial aid to students who excel in their first year—an opportunity I’m determined to earn through my hard work and dedication, which I am confident in.

If you choose to contribute, please know that your generosity is not just easing a financial burden—it is opening the door to a future filled with possibility. Your kindness will directly empower a committed student to pursue knowledge, grow in character, and give back to others. I hope to become a successful graduate and a high-achieving Sri Lankan who brings pride to our country — but I need your support to take this important first step.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

Zainab.
