Gaziantep
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Gaziantep Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $750. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor 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 $750 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Outstanding tuition balance: $640 • Textbooks and materials: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Seda
