Paris
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Paris Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,500. 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 faculty supervisor 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 Paris Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,500 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $180 • Final term tuition: $2,350 • Outstanding tuition balance: $970 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
