Uppsala
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Uppsala Polytechnic, 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 $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 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 Uppsala Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,200 • Textbooks and materials: $250 • Exam and lab fees: $350 Thank you for reading my story.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lovisa.

        • Lovisa OlofssonOwnerAnswerAddress verified

          Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $2,200. 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.

      • Stay strong, Lovisa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best

        • Sergio B. RangelPhoto verified

          good luck, Lovisa. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best

          • it takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

            • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lovisa?

              • Lovisa OlofssonOwnerAnswerAddress verified

                Thank you. If you're in Uppsala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

              hope it all works out, Lovisa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Regensburg donated after I showed her your page.

              • Sending strength, Lovisa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted

                  A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Uppsala. I'll ask around and let you know.
