I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at St. Petersburg State College, and I'm two terms 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 $6,250.
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 academic advisor 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 St. Petersburg State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $6,250 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,050
• Final term tuition: $2,970
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
