Ayşe is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at Istanbul Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,100. The registrar has said Ayşe can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ayşe has a first-class average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ayşe would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Ayşe isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Istanbul Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,100 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $280 • Final term tuition: $750 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Every share and every dollar helps.
