Fatima's final semester of a teaching qualification in Pretoria

Fatima is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at the Pretoria Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,050. The registrar has said Fatima can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Fatima has a 3.6 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 Fatima would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Fatima isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $1,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $500 • Final term tuition: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $75 • Textbooks and materials: $95 Thanks for reading all this. - Brandon
