I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Toronto State College, and I'm one semester 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 $4,750. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $4,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,150 • Final term tuition: $3,000 • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Textbooks and materials: $360 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Hope it all works out, Nova. Study hard!

      thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kyiv.

        You're not alone, Nova. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Toronto.

        • Megan Greene

          Take care, Nova. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
