Sawsan is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at the Geelong Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,950.
The registrar has said Sawsan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sawsan has a 3.8 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Sawsan would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Sawsan isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $3,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,850
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Exam and lab fees: $280
• Textbooks and materials: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sawsan?
Thank you. If you're in Geelong I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Sending love, Walid. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sawsan
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $1,850. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal.
How is Sawsan doing now?
sending love, Walid. Shared this with my family
sending strength, Walid. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
take care, Walid. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
