Winston-Salem
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Winston-Salem State College, 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 $3,500. 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. The payment will go directly to the Winston-Salem State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 • Final term tuition: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $160 • Textbooks and materials: $340 I hope life is good to you.

              Hope it all works out, Amelia. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
