One semester away: help Zalak graduate from Mumbai Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Zalak needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India295 views
Zalak is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at Mumbai Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $700.
The registrar has said Zalak can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Zalak has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Zalak would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Zalak 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 $700 goes:
• Final term tuition: $490
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Outstanding tuition balance: $160
Thank you so much.

thanks for sharing this, Vinayak. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
