Vikash's final semester of an electrical engineering diploma in Sandton
A first-generation student, Vikash needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa1,026 views
Vikash is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Sandton Institute of Technology, and is one semester 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 $1,100.
The registrar has said Vikash can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vikash has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Vikash would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Vikash isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the Sandton Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $470
• Final term tuition: $520
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Textbooks and materials: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength. Study hard! Take care.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sandton.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
