[Promise to Allah-scholarship]

Fatawa Question

Asalam Alaykum, I'm a single woman. Last year I had applied for a government scholarship to study in the UK. This scholarship was generous and would have included air fare, visa costs etc. I made a promise to Allah that I would give 100,000 rupees in charity if I got it. But I did not get it. Then I applied for funding in the USA and got a funding for study this year. I have to pay for airfare and visa myself. I will not be able to save much over the next 5 years. I have about 12,00,000 rupees in savings. I did not make a promise for the US-but am worried that maybe I should still pay the 100,000 along with my Zakah this year. What should I do ? My mother is also helping me financially to pay for tickets etc. as my father is deceased.
