One semester away: help Jamal graduate from Cairo Community College
A first-generation student, Jamal needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt2,187 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Cairo Community 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 $550.
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 department head 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 Cairo Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $160
• Final term tuition: $290
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $65
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
