Shilpa's final semester of an electrical engineering diploma in Saket
Shilpa has worked and saved for three years to study an electrical engineering diploma; a $550 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Shilpa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Saket Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has said Shilpa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Shilpa has a first-class average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Shilpa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Shilpa isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Saket Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Final term tuition: $220
• Exam and lab fees: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
