A first-generation student, Andrew needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States2,792 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Fort Worth Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $3,350.
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.
The payment will go directly to the Fort Worth Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,050
• Outstanding tuition balance: $980
• Exam and lab fees: $320
Thanks for being kind about this.
