I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Halifax Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,750.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 Halifax Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,500
• Textbooks and materials: $135
• Exam and lab fees: $115
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

good luck, Rowan. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Hawassa.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Sending love, Rowan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
stay strong, Rowan. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Halifax.
