Muktar Tulu

Motivated and disciplined 19-year-old student from Seattle with a strong academic record, leadership experience, and a deep commitment to Islamic values. I seek to study at a university in Saudi Arabia where I can grow academically, spiritually, and contribute to a vibrant Muslim community.

Raised in a loving home with four sisters and two devoted parents, I've grown with values of service, responsibility, and faith. I am passionate about using my knowledge to uplift my community and contribute meaningfully to the global Muslim Ummah. Studying in Saudi Arabia would be a life-changing opportunity to advance my education in a spiritually enriching environment.
