Istanbul
Cengiz is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Istanbul State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $700. The registrar has said Cengiz can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Cengiz has a first-class average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Cengiz would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Cengiz isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Istanbul State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $85 • Final term tuition: $560 • Exam and lab fees: $55 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Uğur

Updates from Uğur

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($198 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.
