I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Cairo Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $185 • Textbooks and materials: $25 • Final term tuition: $290 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Yasmin

  1. Small update. $252 so far, I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Cairo: the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. We're at 34% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
