A first-generation student, Hyun-ju needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.
🇰🇷 Gyeonggi, South Korea2,433 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Seongnam Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms 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 $2,800.
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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,050
• Outstanding tuition balance: $560
• Textbooks and materials: $190
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Seongnam.
Thank you. If you're in Seongnam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Gyeonggi. I'll ask around and let you know!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hyun-ju.
Sure. The biggest one is final term tuition, $2,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Hyun-ju. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Seongnam
