Yamuna's final semester of a law degree in Bengaluru

Yamuna has worked and saved for four years to study a law degree; a $700 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Bengaluru University, and I'm one term 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. The payment will go directly to the Bengaluru University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $210 • Final term tuition: $440 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $25 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Yamuna

  1. Update from Bengaluru: we've started the first stage. We're at 61% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($376 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($91). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.

      Stay strong, Yamuna. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
