Istanbul
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Istanbul University, and I'm one term 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 $1,100. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,100 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $640 • Final term tuition: $410 • Exam and lab fees: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Yiğit?

    • Stay strong, Yiğit. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Dallas.

      • Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Istanbul.

          Keep going, Yiğit. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
