Gaziantep
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Gaziantep Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,300. 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. The payment will go directly to the the Gaziantep Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $780 • Final term tuition: $360 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • How is Erdem doing now?

    • Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Mecca but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Erdem

        • Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $780. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.

      • Thinking of you, Erdem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal.

        • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Erdem?

          • Thank you. If you're in Gaziantep I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Duque de Caxias

          • Wishing you the best, Erdem. Hope this works out for you

            • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

                Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Córdoba.

                • Hope it all works out, Erdem. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Gaziantep.

                  • Sending love, Erdem. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
