Tuition fund for Kalyani: a degree in civil engineering at Mumbai State College
A first-generation student, Kalyani needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Mumbai State College, and I'm one semester 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 $1,100.
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 department head 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 $1,100 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $480
• Final term tuition: $510
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Textbooks and materials: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Kalyani. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update.
Good luck, Kalyani. I hope things turn around soon
Wishing you the best, Kalyani. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Toulouse
Stay strong, Kalyani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope it all works out, Kalyani. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
best of luck, Kalyani. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Kalyani. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts. Study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Mumbai.
Hang in there, Kalyani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Juiz de Fora this morning. Greetings from Juiz de Fora.
this could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Depok
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Madurai
