I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Paris University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor 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 Paris University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,150 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,250 • Textbooks and materials: $280 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,620 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Fanta

                Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fanta.

                • Fanta Salimata SowOwnerAnswerID verified

                  Sure. The biggest one is final term tuition, $2,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
