Donna's final semester of an agriculture degree in Birmingham

Donna has worked and saved for five years to study an agriculture degree; a $3,550 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Donna is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Birmingham Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,550. The registrar has said Donna can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Donna has a 3.6 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Donna would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Donna isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $3,550 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $120 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000 • Final term tuition: $2,430 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Madeline
