I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at London Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,850. 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 London Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,850 goes: โ€ข Final term tuition: $2,450 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $290 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $110 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Bennett
