Help Jamal Pursue His Education at Rutgers University!
Donation protected
Salam—peace everyone:
My name is Jamal, and I urgently need your support to continue my education and make a meaningful impact on the world.
I was a business student in Gaza until my school was bombed, depriving me of education for almost a year. Despite these immense challenges, my determination to succeed has never wavered.

I am thrilled to share that I have been accepted into the Intensive English Program at Rutgers University for Fall 2024. This program is crucial for improving my English skills and advancing my academic pursuits. It will enable me to pursue my business studies effectively. Additionally, I have been nominated to receive a scholarship for the remainder of my business education, but improving my English is a necessary first step.
However, the program costs $9,247, and as an international student, I am required to pay full tuition and cannot work at the moment. Here is a breakdown of the expenses:
- Application Fee: $70
- Placement Testing Fee: $100
- Rutgers English Language Institute Fee: $860
- Student Fee: $250
- Student Health Insurance Fee: $1,307
- Tuition: $6,660
In addition to these expenses, I also need to cover essential costs for commuting, books, and living expenses, which are critical to ensuring my success in the program. These include:
- Commuting Costs: Approximately $300 per month for transportation to and from campus.
- Books and Supplies: An estimated $500 per semester for textbooks and other necessary materials.
- Living Expenses: Including housing, food, and utilities, estimated at $1,000 per month.
I urgently need your help to raise this amount. Your contribution, no matter how small, will significantly impact my life and future. I understand many believe in working to pay for college, but my situation is unique and challenging.
Student Note: Any funds raised beyond the tuition and fees listed above will be used to cover essential housing and commuting expenses related to my education at Rutgers University.
Please consider donating to help me cover my tuition and fees. Share this campaign with your friends, family, and networks to help me reach my goal. Together, we can make a difference and give me the opportunity I deserve.
Donate and Share — Thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
