Tuition fund for Nicola: a law degree at Milan Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Nicola needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
🇮🇹 Milan, Lombardy, Italy4,000 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Milan Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my professor 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 $2,650 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $150
• Final term tuition: $2,350
• Textbooks and materials: $150
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Nicola. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Nizamabad
Stay strong, Nicola. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Milan

Thank you. If you're in Milan I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
sending strength, Nicola. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up.

Praying for you, Nicola. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
