Tuğba's final semester of an agriculture degree in Kadıköy
Tuğba has worked and saved for four years to study an agriculture degree; a $850 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye1,234 views
Tuğba is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Kadıköy State College, and is two terms 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 $850.
The registrar has said Tuğba can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Tuğba has a 3.9 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Tuğba would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Tuğba 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 $850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $480
• Final term tuition: $250
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $85
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tuğba!
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $480. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
