Anywhere in the world1,506 views
Ilham is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Jakarta Selatan State College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has said Ilham can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ilham has a 3.9 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ilham would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Ilham isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $200
• Final term tuition: $280
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
