Ekurhuleni
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at the Ekurhuleni Institute of Technology, 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 $1,200. 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 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. The payment will go directly to the the Ekurhuleni Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $720 • Final term tuition: $360 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $40 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Naledi

Updates from Naledi

  1. Update from Ekurhuleni: I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. We're at 75% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $837 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($439 in total) I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

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

    • Naledi L. PillayOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($720) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

    • You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
