I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Mumbai State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $755. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. The payment will go directly to the Mumbai State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $755 goes: • Final term tuition: $370 • Outstanding tuition balance: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $5 Glad we found this place.

  • Tariq Adel MansourQuestion

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Siddharth.

    • Siddharth T. GaikwadOwnerAnswer

      Final term tuition is $370 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

  • Harsh P. Sethi

    Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Guarulhos so I could bring a meal

    • Sharmila Rekha Bajracharya
