The current hardships in our home country place a considerable emotional burden on its international students. The added pressure of managing tuition payments only intensifies this stress. Therefore, any support or flexibility in tuition payment would be immensely helpful and greatly appreciated.
Parvaneh supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisTrying to manage tuition and exams as a master's student is already overwhelming, but it's even harder when I'm constantly worried about the safety of my loved ones.
Sepideh supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisAs a master student at university of Melbourne, I need financial aid because of ongoing war in my country.
Hooriya supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisAs a student at the University of Melbourne, I’m struggling to manage financially due to the crisis in Iran. My family can no longer send money, and it’s affecting both my studies and wellbeing. I hope the University will show compassion and offer urgent support.
Arvin supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisI strongly support the Iranian students at the University of Melbourne. No one should be forced to abandon their education because of war, sanctions, or broken banking systems. This is a humanitarian crisis. The University must provide emergency financial aid, tuition relief, and real mental health support, now.
Abolfazl supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisAs an Iranian scholarship recipient at the University of Melbourne, I am experiencing firsthand the challenges outlined in this petition. Despite earning this opportunity through hard work, I am now facing severe uncertainty due to the current crisis. My student visa has been significantly delayed, forcing me to defer my course commencement, hoping conditions will stabilize. The emotional toll is overwhelming - living in constant fear that visa processing delays will force me to miss critical deadlines and potentially lose everything I've worked for. Like many Iranian students awaiting visas, I am deeply concerned that the current situation will further delay our visa processing times. I strongly support this petition's requests for mental health support and academic flexibility, as Iranian students both in Australia and those still waiting to arrive need immediate institutional support to navigate this unprecedented crisis beyond our control.
Kiana supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisI feel so anxious and have panic attacks. My brother who is my financial supporter went to Iran to meet parents and when he was about to come back to Australia, the crisis broke out and he got stuck there. Also, my funding in the Iranian bank has lost value in currency exchange and I feel financially pressured to the point that I don't know what to do next. It is depressing and frustrating. I think I need to work full time, even though I have become physically and mentally sick lately. I am worried about my parents back in Iran and can't focus on studies...please help us. Thank you
Somayeh supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisI am currently experiencing massive mental breakdown due to war and having family caught up in it which makes it harder for me to cope with the financial difficulties along my studies. My parents no longer are working. It is harder to transfer money.
Kimia supported: Request for Urgent Financial Assistance for Iranian Students Affected by Escalating CrisisIt is unctrollably difficult to have sufficient focus for conducting research when every moment passes under severe stress of not knowing what will happen to my family and my people in Iran in the current situation.
