Emilia's final semester of a degree in social work in Birmingham
A first-generation student, Emilia needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom3,242 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Birmingham University, and I'm two terms 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 $5,050.
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 academic advisor 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 $5,050 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Final term tuition: $2,400
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $260
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Love from Berlin
Hope it all works out, Emilia. Study hard! I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Casablanca.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Birmingham
