PhD Study

Date Published: 

Hello,
I received a PhD offer in the following program:
FT MPHIL/PHD ENGLISH COMPARATIVE LITERATURE OR LINGUISTICS


I am writing this to seek financial assistance and guidance to fulfill my lifelong dream of pursuing a PhD.

I am a stateless person (Bidun) who was born and lived my whole life in Kuwait. The stateless (Bidun) community, to which I belong, comprises individuals born and raised in Kuwait but who are deprived of many benefits afforded to citizens, including access to educational funding. The Bidun are among the most marginalized communities in Kuwait, in fact, nearly invisible.

I have always dreamed of pursuing higher education, and achieving a PhD is a passion and a goal I have worked tirelessly for. Unfortunately, the financial burden is overwhelming.

My parents passed away years ago, leaving me with no familial support. Over the past year, I have struggled with my employment situation, and even though I am currently working, my income barely covers my basic needs and commitments.

I also have to mention that I managed to do my Master's degree through a fundraising campaign, which covered half of my tuition. I am deeply grateful for everyone who helped me and contributed to enable me to finish my MA. I am committed as well to them to not disappoint those who believed and helped me.

Now, as I stand on the brink of starting my PhD, I find myself in a similar predicament. The total cost of tuition and living expenses is beyond my means. Therefore, I am reaching out to kind-hearted individuals, organizations, and potential benefactors for financial assistance to help me pursue this academic dream and opportunity.

I am determined to use my knowledge and skills I gain from this PhD to help those who are marginalized to make a positive impact, whether in the field of linguistics or any other.

I am facing difficulty and struggle in applying for international scholarships, so any assistance would be appreciated. I am more than happy to provide any information or documents needed for proof of my situation and to support my application for financial aid.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to read my email. I really look forward to the possibility of your support and I truly appreciate it.
