One semester away: help Runa graduate from Mumbai Polytechnic

Runa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a pharmacy diploma at Mumbai Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $550. The registrar has said Runa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Runa has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Runa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Runa 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 $550 goes: • Final term tuition: $220 • Outstanding tuition balance: $320 • Exam and lab fees: $10 Glad we found this place. - Tahmina
