One semester away: help Léa graduate from Strasbourg University

Léan is one semester away from finishing a computer science degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,750.

Léan is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at Strasbourg University, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,750. The registrar has said Léa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Léa has a top-ten-percent average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Léa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Léan isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $1,750 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $270 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $180 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ethan

  1. Quick update: $357 raised so far (20%). I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($152). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.

  3. 3% there. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. Thank you.

      Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and materials, $270. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
