Through our partnership with the Madrinha Trust, we are pleased to share a testimonial from Samar, one of The Hanoon Foundation’s supported medical students, who was awarded a five-year scholarship to study medicine. From the moment she received the news of her acceptance, Samar describes feeling both joy and responsibility, along with renewed motivation to pursue her studies with confidence and determination.

Reflecting on her journey, Samar explains that the scholarship was “far more than just financial support”, as it eased the burden of academic and personal expenses while giving her hope, self-confidence, and the reassurance that someone believed in her potential. This sense of support has empowered her to continue her medical studies with energy, focus, and a strong commitment to giving back.

Below, Samar shares her testimonial and photos.


Testimonial

“I would like to express my deep gratitude and sincere appreciation for granting me this exceptional opportunity a scholarship to study medicine for five years.

From the very first moment I received the news of my acceptance, I was overwhelmed with immense joy mixed with a profound sense of responsibility.

This scholarship has significantly eased many financial burdens I was facing, including personal expenses, the cost of textbooks, and other academic needs.

However, this scholarship has been far more than just financial support. It has given me hope and genuine motivation to continue my journey with full energy and determination to reach my goal.

I have always felt that someone believes in me and stands by my side and that has given me strength and self-confidence.

I promise to live up to your trust and expectations, and to do my best to become a distinguished doctor, capable of serving my family and my country with dedication and sincerity.”
