One semester away: help Madhavi graduate from Galle State College
A first-generation student, Madhavi needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇱🇰 Galle, Southern, Sri Lanka1,185 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Galle State College, and I'm two terms 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 $650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor 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 $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $370
• Final term tuition: $220
• Exam and lab fees: $15
• Textbooks and materials: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
