Tuition fund for Laiba: an electrical engineering diploma at the Abbottabad Institute of Technology
Laiba has worked and saved for three years to study an electrical engineering diploma; a $450 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Laiba is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Abbottabad Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $450.
The registrar has said Laiba can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Laiba has a 3.9 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 Laiba would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Laiba 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 $450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $160
• Textbooks and materials: $30
• Final term tuition: $260
With deep gratitude,
Umar

Sending love, Umar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Laiba.
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $160. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Mumbai
