I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Kanpur Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer 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 3.8 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 the Kanpur Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $550 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Outstanding tuition balance: $340
• Final term tuition: $185
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending love, Payal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Payal. Hope this works out for you.
Sending love, Payal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this, Payal. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
so sorry you're going through this. Study hard! We're a small family in Kanpur but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Kanpur.
