Help me finish an accounting degree at Paarl Polytechnic - $600 to go
A first-generation student, Pravin needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Paarl Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 Paarl Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $55
• Final term tuition: $460
• Exam and lab fees: $85
With deep gratitude,
Pravin

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Western Cape. I'll ask around and let you know.
Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Tampa
Hope this works out for you. After 17 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Malang
Hang in there, Pravin. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Nottingham.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Good luck, Pravin. Shared this with my family.
