Tuition fund for Mbali: an electrical engineering diploma at the Johannesburg Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Mbali needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Johannesburg Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 $1,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $750
• Final term tuition: $610
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Textbooks and materials: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Lagos
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Entebbe.
Sending love, Mbali. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Johannesburg.
