Ryota's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Tokyo
A first-generation student, Ryota needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan6,282 views
Ryota is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at Tokyo University, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,300.
The registrar has said Ryota can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ryota has a first-class 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 Ryota would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Ryota isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $5,300 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,550
• Final term tuition: $2,450
• Exam and lab fees: $160
• Textbooks and materials: $140
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page. Love from Jakarta Selatan
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ryota?
You're not alone, Kumiko. Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Kumiko. I hope things turn around soon.
