Selim's final semester of an accounting degree in Istanbul
A first-generation student, Selim needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,686 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Istanbul Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $1,200.
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 academic advisor 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 Istanbul Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $260
• Final term tuition: $750
• Exam and lab fees: $65
• Textbooks and materials: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Selim. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
