Mumbai
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Mumbai Community College, 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 $550. 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 department head 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 $550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $195 • Final term tuition: $270 • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Textbooks and materials: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dhruv

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($195) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
