I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Üsküdar University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $390
• Textbooks and materials: $100
• Exam and lab fees: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Derya
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $390. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hang in there. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Derya?
Thank you. If you're in Üsküdar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Hang in there, Derya. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Bandung
It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Üsküdar.
