One semester away: help Girish graduate from Thane State College

Girish has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $800 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Thane
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Thane State College, and I'm two terms 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 $800. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $390 • Final term tuition: $340 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
