I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Bangkok Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,200. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 Bangkok Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $500 • Final term tuition: $610 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Chatchai

    Good luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Titilayo Modupe BelloQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chatchai.

      • Chatchai Pongsak DuangdeeOwnerAnswer

        Outstanding tuition balance is $500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.

        Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bangkok.
