I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Québec Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,250. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my department head 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 $2,250 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $320 • Textbooks and materials: $230 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,700 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
