Tuition fund for Rabia: an agriculture degree at Istanbul University
A first-generation student, Rabia needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an agriculture degree.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,886 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Istanbul University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $850.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
The payment will go directly to the Istanbul University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Final term tuition: $440
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Textbooks and materials: $80
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thanks for sharing this, Rabia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Surakarta!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rabia
You're not alone, Rabia. Good luck with the exams, you've got this

You're not alone, Rabia. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nakuru.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Istanbul.
So sorry you're going through this, Rabia. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Messina.
You're not alone, Rabia. Study hard!
So sorry you're going through this, Rabia. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from București.
