Tuition fund for Peng: a law degree at Auckland State College
Peng has worked and saved for three years to study a law degree; a $3,150 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Peng is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a law degree at Auckland State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,150.
The registrar has said Peng can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Peng has a distinction average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Peng would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Peng isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Auckland State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350
• Final term tuition: $1,250
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $310
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Tong
Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($191). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($108 in total) the plan for exam and lab fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Peng.
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $1,350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending good thoughts. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Surakarta.
Good luck, Tong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts, Tong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you. Take care.
