Arun is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a law degree at Kochi University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has said Arun can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Arun has a 3.6 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 Arun would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Arun 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 Kochi University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $300 • Final term tuition: $260 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $35 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Vinod

  1. Quick update: $171 raised so far (26%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($79 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
