Howrah
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the Howrah Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my academic advisor 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $430 • Final term tuition: $470 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    take care. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Fort Worth!
