I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Mumbai State College, 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 $350.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $350 goes:
• Final term tuition: $145
• Outstanding tuition balance: $195
• Exam and lab fees: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Vivaan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($67 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Mumbai: the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Dhaka.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
