Esra has worked and saved for four years to study an agriculture degree; a $3,500 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Esra is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Cologne Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She 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 $3,500. The registrar has said Esra can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Esra has a 3.9 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 Esra would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Esra 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 $3,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200 • Final term tuition: $1,900 • Exam and lab fees: $270 • Textbooks and materials: $130 Thanks for being kind about this. - Dilara

              as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

                is there anything that isn't money that would help Esra?

                  Thank you. If you're in Cologne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
