Help Gerhard finish a computer science degree at Gqeberha University - $900 to go
Gerhard is two terms away from finishing a computer science degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $900.

Gerhard is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Gqeberha University, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $900.
The registrar has said Gerhard can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gerhard has a distinction average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gerhard would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Gerhard isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $900 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $100
• Final term tuition: $780
• Exam and lab fees: $20
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending love, Mthunzi. Study hard! I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Gazipur
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gerhard
Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and materials, $100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
