Success Stories
Abdul Rehman | Gujranwala | Beaconhouse school
Beaconhouse was a name I associated with children of privilege not someone like me. When Grip of Dreams provided support for my education, it felt like a door had opened that I never thought was meant for me. That experience instilled in me a level of discipline, confidence, and ambition that continues to define who I am. I am deeply grateful to Grip of Dreams for not just funding an education, but for reshaping how I saw myself and what I believed I deserved.
Rimsha | Lahore | GC University
In our community, girls rarely made it past intermediate school. My father, Haji Tallat Mehmood, believed in me, but the finances were simply not there. I had the grades, I had the determination — but I had no way forward. Then Grip of Dreams stepped in. Four years later, I graduated with a degree in Computer Science from GC University. I am now among the very few women from my background working in the technology field. To every girl in a village who thinks higher education is not for her — it is. And organizations like Grip of Dreams exist to make sure of that.

My father, Nadeem Kanwal, worked tirelessly to keep our family afloat. Higher education felt like a dream that belonged to someone else someone wealthier, someone from the city. When Grip of Dreams granted me a scholarship, everything changed. I packed my bags and left for Lahore, the first in my family to attend university. Today, I hold a degree in Economics from FC University. I am no longer just a boy from a small town I am proof that where you come from does not determine where you can go. Grip of Dreams didn't just fund my education. They funded my future
Huda | Concordia College | Lahore
When my father sat me down and told me there was a scholarship that could send me to college in Lahore, I cried. We had watched my siblings receive the same opportunity and transform their lives. Now it was my turn. Concordia College has opened my eyes to a world I only read about in books. I am studying hard because I know what it took for me to get here and I refuse to waste a single moment of it. Grip of Dreams gave me a seat at the table. I intend to earn my place at it.
Beaconhouse | Gujranwala
Tabassam Butt
I never imagined I would one day stand in front of students as their teacher. Growing up, my family struggled deeply, and education beyond school felt like a luxury we could not afford. Grip of Dreams stepped in and supported me through the most difficult years. Today, I am a professor at Punjab College shaping the futures of hundreds of young students. Every lesson I teach carries within it the gratitude I hold for an organization that refused to let my potential go to waste
BSC | Marali Wala
Bilal
Growing up in Marali Wala, I watched many of my friends abandon their studies because their families simply couldn't afford to continue. My father, Taj Din, always said education was the one thing no one could ever take away from you. But accessing it felt impossible. Grip of Dreams changed that. With their support, I am completing my BSC and building toward a future I once only dared to imagine. I want to become someone my community can look up to and I have Grip of Dreams to thank for putting me on that path.
BS Engineering | Gujranwala
Usman Butt
Engineering requires years of study and significant financial resources neither of which my family had easy access to. My father, Waseem Butt, sacrificed enormously just to give me a foundation, but university tuition was beyond our reach. Grip of Dreams bridged that gap. With their scholarship, I pursued my BS in Engineering and eventually had the opportunity to continue my higher studies abroad. I think about the boy from Gujranwala who almost gave up on this dream, and I am grateful every day that he didn't have to.
Iman Tahir | FSC | Gujranwala
After my FSC, my father Tahir Mehmood told me he didn't know how we would manage university fees. That conversation broke my heart. Then we heard about Grip of Dreams. The scholarship didn't just cover my costs it restored hope to our entire household. I am now planning my university application with a confidence I never had before. I want to study medicine and come back to serve communities like mine, the ones that are forgotten but full of potential
Monas Butt | Software Engineering | Gujranwala
Technology is changing the world, and I always knew I wanted to be part of that change. But software engineering degrees are expensive, and my family's income was modest at best. My father, Musadaq Butt, did everything he could but it was Grip of Dreams that made my enrollment possible. Today, I am a software engineer, building systems and solving problems that matter. From a boy in Gujranwala who could barely afford textbooks to a professional in the tech industry that is the journey Grip of Dreams made possible.
Waqas Ahmed | Marali Wala
I come from Marali Wala a small town where opportunities are few and dreams feel out of reach. Grip of Dreams supported my education at a time when my family had no other options. That foundation gave me the confidence and skills to seek work beyond our borders. Today, I am employed abroad, sending money home to the very family that once worried about my future. I am living proof that a single act of generosity can ripple across an entire family's destiny.
Haider Ali | BA | Gujranwala
My father, Abdul Jabbar, always told me that an educated man can never be truly poor. But pursuing that education felt impossible given our circumstances. Grip of Dreams understood that talent doesn't only live in wealthy homes it exists in every corner of this country, waiting for someone to nurture it. Their scholarship allowed me to complete my BA and stand on my own two feet. I am now exploring career opportunities that my family once thought were reserved for others. Because of Grip of Dreams, I know they are not.
