Reza's final semester of a law degree in Jakarta

Reza has worked and saved for five years to study a law degree; a $510 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Jakarta
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Jakarta Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $510. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 Jakarta Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $510 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $220 • Final term tuition: $230 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $5 I hope life is good to you. - Reza
