One semester away: help Lubna graduate from Jeddah Polytechnic
Lubna has worked and saved for four years to study a teaching qualification; a $2,300 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Lubna is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at Jeddah Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,300.
The registrar has said Lubna can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lubna has a 3.6 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 Lubna would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Lubna isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Jeddah Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $890
• Final term tuition: $1,200
• Textbooks and materials: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jeddah.
Thank you. If you're in Jeddah I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lubna.
It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $890, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Pune!
How is Lubna doing now?
Stay strong, Qasim. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Keep going, Qasim. Study hard! We're a small family in San Fernando but we're thinking of you. Love from San Fernando
Looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Zapopan
