Tuition fund for Haruka: a master's in public health at Sakai Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Haruka needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇯🇵 Japan2,383 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Sakai Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $3,700 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $150
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750
• Final term tuition: $1,800
Thank you for reading my story.

how is Haruka doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Haruka. Study hard! I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Haruka
You're not alone, Haruka. Study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck, Haruka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Sakai.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Love from London.
