Kyoto
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms 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 $2,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 the Kyoto Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,600 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,000 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400 • Exam and lab fees: $200 I hope life is good to you.
