I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Buffalo State College, 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 $4,900.
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 Buffalo State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,250
• Textbooks and materials: $260
• Final term tuition: $2,390
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Kevin. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Keep going, Kevin. Shared this with my family. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Semarang.
Praying for you, Kevin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Keep going, Kevin. Hope you get there. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza.
You're not alone, Kevin. Study hard! We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Keep going, Kevin. I hope things turn around soon. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything
hope things get better soon. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My husband and I read this together. Love from New York.
Sending good thoughts, Kevin. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thanks for sharing this, Kevin. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
