Chathurika's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Dehiwala
A first-generation student, Chathurika needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇱🇰 Western, Sri Lanka1,563 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Dehiwala Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner 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 distinction average, and my professor 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: $350
• Final term tuition: $300
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.
