Help me finish a nursing degree at Corpus Christi Polytechnic - $4,900 to go
A first-generation student, Douglas needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.
🇺🇸 Corpus Christi, Texas, United States2,967 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Corpus Christi Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant 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 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 Corpus Christi Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550
• Final term tuition: $3,150
• Textbooks and materials: $200
With deep gratitude,
Douglas
