I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at the Mumbai Institute of Technology, and I'm one term 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 $400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my academic advisor 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 the Mumbai Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $400 goes: • Final term tuition: $180 • Outstanding tuition balance: $200 • Exam and lab fees: $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Viral

          Best of luck, Viral. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

            You're not alone, Viral. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning!
