I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Jakarta Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $550. 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 faculty supervisor 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 Jakarta Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $180 • Final term tuition: $300 • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Textbooks and materials: $25 Thank you for reading my story. - Anisa

Updates from Anisa

  1. Update from Jakarta: I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($100). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.
