Tuition fund for Volkan: an electrical engineering diploma at Ankara Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Volkan needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.
Anywhere in the world866 views
Volkan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Ankara Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950.
The registrar has said Volkan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Volkan has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Volkan would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Volkan isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $950 goes:
• Final term tuition: $380
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Outstanding tuition balance: $515
Thanks for being kind about this.

stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Ogbomosho but we're thinking of you. Love from Ogbomosho!
how is Volkan doing now?
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Ankara.
Good luck, Defne. Hope you get there. Sent it to 17 people at work. Love from Jimma.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Freiburg.
Thinking of you and your family. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Ankara!
Wishing you the best. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kharkiv.
