Rome
Abdullah is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at the Rome Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,700. The registrar has said Abdullah can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Abdullah has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Abdullah would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Abdullah isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $3,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Final term tuition: $1,965 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Zahra
