About Hafez
Hafez Al-Rayyes is a top student from Gaza who has achieved exceptional academic results despite severe hardship.
- 97% Tawjihi, including 198/200 in Maths
- 100% in the UCL Physics Entrance Exam
- 5.5 ESAT Mathematics
Due to the war, Hafez has lost three full-funding opportunities that could have changed the course of his future: opportunities in Romania, at UCL, and through a Turkish scholarship.
After losing these opportunities and facing repeated barriers to continuing his education, Hafez has now been offered a place at Trinity College Dublin Foundation Year, with the aim of continuing on to study Engineering at Trinity College Dublin.
Our Goal:
This fundraiser helps Hafez:
- Begin his studies at Trinity
- Cover the required tuition instalments
- Continue his education in safety
Every contribution brings him closer to starting university and being safe.
If you can’t donate, please share.
We are currently in contact with organisations and Trinity to explore possible fee waivers. If successful, funds raised will go towards supporting Hafez’s living costs in Ireland.
