Athira sent a message to Lakshmi Mittal – Chairman and CEO, ArcelorMittal – Email Address that said:
Dear Sir,
I am Athira from Kerala,I graduated from University of Hyderabad with gold medal in Anthropology.Now I have been selected for a PhD program at Australian National University, one of the top twenty universities in the world and also has been offered a partial stipend of $26682.
But the stipend, does not cover my entire tuition fee and Overseas Health Insurance.My tuition fee is $32592 per year, and the living expenses comes up to $20000 per year. For managing the same, I need some financial support other than the stipend. My family cannot afford to finance me. I have come very close to achieving my dream but I cannot seem to because of this financial problem. It was my passion and dream of studying that led me through all hardships so far but I have reached a dead end.
I sincerely wish that you will contribute a financial aid that will help me overcome this hurdle. Any small amount from your side is appreciated
Hope to hear from you soon.Thanking you from your time.
Sincerely
Athira
