Sotiris's final semester of a computer science degree in Piraeus
A first-generation student, Sotiris needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
🇬🇷 Attica, Greece1,111 views
Sotiris is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Piraeus Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,350.
The registrar has said Sotiris can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sotiris has a distinction 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 Sotiris would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Sotiris isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $1,350 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050
• Exam and lab fees: $165
• Textbooks and materials: $135
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending love, Athina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
How is Sotiris doing now?
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Rooting for you, Athina. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Piraeus.
Sending good thoughts, Athina. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from București
