Help me finish a law degree at the Istanbul Institute of Technology - $950 to go
A first-generation student, Sevgi needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
Anywhere in the world1,297 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at the Istanbul Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $950.
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 professor 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 $950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $550
• Final term tuition: $260
• Exam and lab fees: $75
• Textbooks and materials: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sevgi.
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $550. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
stay strong, Sevgi. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Istanbul!
Wishing you the best, Sevgi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Rochester.
any update on how things are going in Istanbul?
