I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Brandon Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,650.
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 Brandon Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $300
• Textbooks and materials: $390
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,960
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Emma. Shared it with a few friends.
sending good thoughts. Study hard! I hope September is when things finally get easier
Thinking of you, Emma. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Brandon
Sending good thoughts, Emma. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
