I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Geelong Community College, 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 $3,450.
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 $3,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750
• Final term tuition: $1,250
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Claire. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Keep going, Claire. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Claire. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Ogbomosho!
