I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Mississauga State College, and I'm one semester 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 $1,700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 Mississauga State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,700 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $340 • Exam and lab fees: $230 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,130 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

due date: 2026-09-29
bill type: University tuition
