Galle
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Galle 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 $400. 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 Galle State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $280 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • You're not alone. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

    • Praying for you, Lasanthi. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of Galle.

      • Stay strong. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 17 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Belo Horizonte.
