Corpus Christi
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Corpus Christi Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $1,700. 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 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 $1,700 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $160 • Textbooks and materials: $115 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,425 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Nasser

  1. Small update. $552 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Update from Corpus Christi: the plan for exam and lab fees is now scheduled. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($132 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
