I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Southampton State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,950. 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 $3,950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200 • Final term tuition: $2,400 • Exam and lab fees: $190 • Textbooks and materials: $160 Every share and every dollar helps. - Alyssa

              You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
