I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Yogyakarta State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library 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 top-ten-percent 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $400 goes:
• Final term tuition: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $25
• Outstanding tuition balance: $135
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Zahra. Shared this with my family.
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Keep going, Zahra. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Yogyakarta!
Wishing you the best. Study hard! After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Take care, Zahra. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
