Help me finish an agriculture degree at Ekurhuleni Polytechnic - $1,050 to go
Hendrik has worked and saved for three years to study an agriculture degree; a $1,050 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Ekurhuleni Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,050.
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 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 $1,050 goes:
• Final term tuition: $460
• Outstanding tuition balance: $540
• Exam and lab fees: $50
Thank you so much.
