One semester away: help Khadija graduate from Riyadh University
A first-generation student, Khadija needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Riyadh University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,500.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the Riyadh University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $580
• Final term tuition: $680
• Exam and lab fees: $95
• Textbooks and materials: $145
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Khadija. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Thinking of you, Khadija. Study hard! Greetings from Hanoi.
Hope things get better soon. Study hard! It's not much but it's yours.
rooting for you, Khadija. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Praying for you, Khadija. Study hard! Thinking of Riyadh.
