Shankar's final semester of a degree in social work in Pune
A first-generation student, Shankar needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India1,885 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Pune University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 Pune University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $300
• Final term tuition: $185
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $35
With deep gratitude,
Shankar

good luck, Shankar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Shankar. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Hang in there, Shankar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Leeds
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Pune.
Sending strength, Shankar. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Blessings.
Take care, Shankar. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mumbai
Stay strong, Shankar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
You're not alone, Shankar. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lagos
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Pune.
Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Pune
So sorry you're going through this, Shankar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 21 people at work. All the best.
