Heliopolis
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Heliopolis Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $650. 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 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. The payment will go directly to the Heliopolis Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Outstanding tuition balance: $390 • Final term tuition: $235 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Salim

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($514 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($146). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled.

    So sorry you're going through this. Study hard! We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tarragona.

    • Ethan A. Sutton

      Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Heliopolis!

      • Fernanda F. Sánchez

        Sending love, Salim. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

        • Torsten Olof Abrahamsson

          Sending love, Salim. Hope this works out for you. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
