I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Louisville Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,750. 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 department head 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 Louisville Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650 • Final term tuition: $2,850 • Exam and lab fees: $120 • Textbooks and materials: $130 Thanks for reading all this. - Eugene

Updates from Eugene

  1. Small update. $1,155 so far, I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees.

  2. Update from Louisville: I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($338 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Eugene
