Piraeus
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Piraeus Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,550. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my academic advisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $2,550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400 • Final term tuition: $980 • Textbooks and materials: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Apostolos

          Thank you. If you're in Piraeus I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

      • so sorry you're going through this, Apostolos. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

        • Sending good thoughts, Apostolos. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

            how is Apostolos doing now?

            • thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings

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

                • Apostolos Charalambos LazaridisOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

                  Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($1,400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.

              • Take care, Apostolos. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

                • Good luck, Apostolos. Hope you get there. Blessings.

                  • Best of luck, Apostolos. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Berlin this morning. Blessings.

                          • you're not alone. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kumasi.

                            • Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Gatineau.
