Funding My Education & Research

I got into The Knowledge Society (TKS) — one of the world's most prestigious innovator programs with a 10-15% acceptance rate. I secured the maximum financial aid and scholarship, reducing the $5,890 program fee by over 90% to just $574 through merit alone.

Yet even with maximum aid, I couldn't attend — the remaining $574 was still beyond reach. This experience showed me how financial barriers can block even the most talented students from world-class opportunities, regardless of merit.
