I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Stellenbosch University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $810 • Final term tuition: $680 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $25 I hope life is good to you. - Francois

Updates from Francois

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($182 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
