Thabisa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Gqeberha Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $750. The registrar has said Thabisa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Thabisa has a distinction 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 Thabisa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Thabisa isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $320 • Final term tuition: $310 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $80 Thanks for reading all this.
