Hesti is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at the Jakarta Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has said Hesti can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Hesti has a first-class average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Hesti would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Hesti isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Jakarta Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $175 • Final term tuition: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $45 Glad we found this place. - Bagus
