Kannan's final semester of a master's in public health in Mumbai

A first-generation student, Kannan needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.

Mumbai
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at the Mumbai Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. The payment will go directly to the the Mumbai Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $500 goes: • Final term tuition: $410 • Textbooks and materials: $30 • Exam and lab fees: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Hang in there, Kannan. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

          Stay strong, Kannan. Study hard! Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                  you're not alone, Kannan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Mumbai.

                    so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
