I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Birmingham Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 Birmingham Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750
• Final term tuition: $1,300
• Exam and lab fees: $190
• Textbooks and materials: $310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
