Ming's final semester of a law degree in Hamilton
Ming has worked and saved for three years to study a law degree; a $5,950 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Ming is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a law degree at Hamilton University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,950.
The registrar has said Ming can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ming has a 3.8 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 Ming would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Ming 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 $5,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,200
• Final term tuition: $2,450
• Exam and lab fees: $195
• Textbooks and materials: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Lan
Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($765). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($340 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you and your family. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours.
Hang in there. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My neighbor in Antalya donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts, Lan. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Good luck, Lan. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 6 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours.
