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.

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.
