I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Wollongong Institute of Technology, 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 $2,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,150 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $360 • Exam and lab fees: $100 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,690 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Bella

    So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
