Umesh's final semester of a teaching qualification in San Jose
Umesh has worked and saved for five years to study a teaching qualification; a $6,600 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at San Jose Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $6,600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 San Jose Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $6,600 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $290
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,000
• Final term tuition: $3,310
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Umesh. Hope this works out for you. All the best
You're not alone, Umesh. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Parramatta so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Sending love, Umesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Buenos Aires this morning. Greetings from Buenos Aires!
good luck, Umesh. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Marrakesh so I could bring a meal. God bless.
