I’m Noureldin Ibrahim, a high‑school graduate from Alexandria STEM School in Egypt, and ever since I first looked up at the night sky, I’ve been driven by one goal: to push the boundaries of space exploration. In a country where formal aerospace programs are scarce.
However, to turn my passion into a career, I must study abroad in the USA or the UAE—the costs of the SAT & IELTS exams, application fees, and the sum is simply impossible for my family. Despite juggling multiple part‑time jobs, I’m still short of the funds I need to apply to top aerospace programs.
