I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Birmingham University, and I'm two terms 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 $5,600.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the Birmingham University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,050
• Final term tuition: $2,100
• Exam and lab fees: $210
• Textbooks and materials: $240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

best of luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
wishing you peace, Valentina. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Keep going, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte.
Wishing you the best, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from The Hague!
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
