Ruma's final semester of a law degree in Kanpur
Ruma is one semester away from finishing a law degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $900.
🇮🇳 India1,640 views
Ruma is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at Kanpur Community College, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $900.
The registrar has said Ruma can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ruma has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ruma would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Ruma 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 $900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Final term tuition: $550
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $40
With deep gratitude,

Updates from Faruk
Good news. Because of your gifts ($329 in total) the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $186 raised so far (21%). I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
