Rani's final semester of a law degree in Jakarta

Rani has worked and saved for four years to study a law degree; a $850 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Jakarta
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Jakarta State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $850. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $440 • Final term tuition: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $10 • Textbooks and materials: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Rani

  1. We're at 6% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward final term tuition. More news soon.

  2. Quick update: $130 raised so far (15%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($105 in total) the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Sending good thoughts, Rani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Jakarta.

    • Gonzalo P. Morales

      You're not alone. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
