Help me finish a degree in social work at Manchester State College - $5,100 to go
A first-generation student, Sultana needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,272 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Manchester State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,100.
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 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 Manchester State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,100 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $270
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100
• Final term tuition: $2,730
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sultana
Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and materials, $270. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Wishing you the best, Sultana. This could happen to any of us.
Thinking of you and your family, Sultana. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
