What winning the IDP IELTS Future Award will mean for Saman
"Australia is more than just a place I call home—it is a land of opportunity, accessibility, and independence. As a person who uses a wheelchair, the freedom to explore the city, pursue my career, and live life on my terms is something I cherish deeply.
Receiving the IDP IELTS Future Award will bring me one step closer to my dream of securing permanent residency, allowing me to continue thriving in a country that empowers me. This award is not just a scholarship—it is a key to a future where I can contribute, inspire, and live without limits."

"Succeeding in the IELTS test is a pivotal step toward building a future without boundaries. It means gaining access to world-class opportunities, forging meaningful connections, and immersing myself in Australia’s vibrant culture.
Language is more than communication—it’s the key to understanding, growth, and belonging. With a strong IELTS score, I can take the next step toward permanent residency, opening doors to professional success and personal fulfillment.
