Ekurhuleni
Suren is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Ekurhuleni State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,350. The registrar has said Suren can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Suren has a first-class average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Suren would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Suren isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Ekurhuleni State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,350 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $75 • Outstanding tuition balance: $620 • Final term tuition: $655 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Chantel

            Thank you. If you're in Ekurhuleni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

        • wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

          • Good luck, Chantel. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out

            • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Suren.

              • Chantel PienaarOwnerAnswerID verified

                Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and materials, $75. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

            • take care. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

              • hope it all works out, Chantel. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Davao City.
