University of Waterloo student receives over $6,00

Ayesha Khurram says she can now pay her tuition at the University of Waterloo thanks to the help of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The 20-year-old received $6,300 from the pop star shortly after setting up a PayPal account for donations from people who wanted to help.

“I feel like I have no more problems anymore, I feel like I’m going to sleep really well tonight,” said Khurram.

She adds that she was at a loss of how she was going to pay tuition after the provincial government announced cuts to OSAP earlier this year.

Khurram says her family moved to Canada from Pakistan in 2016 in hopes of creating a better life. In 2018, she was able to meet Swift backstage at a concert and has been connected to her on Tumblr.
