Varsha's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Mumbai
Varsha has worked and saved for four years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $450 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India890 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Mumbai State College, 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 $450.
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 faculty supervisor 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $450 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Outstanding tuition balance: $390
• Textbooks and materials: $40
Glad we found this place.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Pasig.
Wishing you peace, Varsha. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Mumbai.
Take care. Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
