Budi's final semester of a nursing degree in Malang
A first-generation student, Budi needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Malang Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Final term tuition: $370
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Textbooks and materials: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Budi
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. outstanding tuition balance is the biggest at $280. Let me know if you want more detail.
Best of luck, Budi. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Barcelona this morning. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Budi?
Thank you. If you're in Malang I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Sending strength, Budi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
