Emily is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at the Wellington Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,900. The registrar has said Emily can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Emily has a 3.9 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 Emily would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Emily isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Wellington Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,900 goes: โ€ข Outstanding tuition balance: $1,450 โ€ข Final term tuition: $2,050 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $220 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $180 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Silas
