I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Paris Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $4,350.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $4,350 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650
• Final term tuition: $1,500
• Textbooks and materials: $200
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Zahra
Wanted to say thank you properly. 43% funded and the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($581 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
