I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Pune Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my professor 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 $700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $490 • Final term tuition: $170 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $15 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Vinayak

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vinayak

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($490) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

  • Wishing you the best, Vinayak. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes

    • thinking of you, Vinayak. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Pune.

      • Keep going. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. God bless.

        • Sending strength. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Dhaka.

          • thinking of you, Vinayak. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

            • Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out

              • Good luck, Vinayak. Shared it with a few friends.
