Harumi's final semester of an accounting degree in Tokyo

A first-generation student, Harumi needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.

Tokyo
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Tokyo Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,250. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my academic advisor 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 Tokyo Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $850 • Final term tuition: $1,000 • Exam and lab fees: $110 • Textbooks and materials: $290 Thanks for reading all this.

          so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Rome so I could bring a meal.

          • Rosa P. Vega
