Emma is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Marseille State College, 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 $2,050. The registrar has said Emma can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Emma has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Emma would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Emma 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 Marseille State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,650 • Textbooks and materials: $220 • Exam and lab fees: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
