Sania’s dream

Sania is an extremely motivated student who is driven by blind ambition. Her organized and methodical personality has led her to identify her first preference and second preference colleges.

Her most preferred college is IIT Mumbai, while her second preference is the Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, which is also located in Mumbai. Both these colleges hold high reputations, and also give Sania the option of living at home while she attends college. Sania is currently enrolled as a student at Avanti Learning Centres, who are providing her with vital support she needs to reach her goals.

What do Sania’s teachers say about her?

Sania’s educational track record 

While teachers pile praise onto Sania for her attitude and her work, her performance in exams, tests, and year round JEE-advanced tests speaks for itself. Sania secured an aggregate of 93.2% in her 10th standard public examinations, and is expected to score between the 85-90% range in her 12th standard public exams. Sania appeared for the JEE examination in April of 2016 and scored an impressive 165, clearing the general cutoff of 100 by 65 marks.

How you can help Sania

Sania comes from a low-income family, and they require help to fund her college education. The family’s only source of income is Sania’s father and he does not make enough money to sustain the expenses of the house and entirely fund his third daughter’s education. The family cannot provide a number in regards to how much they could collectively contribute, however, they do guarantee that they will all they can to fund Sania. Supporting this cause means supporting an underprivileged teenager’s desire to receive the highest quality education possible and make a positive impact on the world.
