Help me finish a teaching qualification at Tampa State College - $3,650 to go

A first-generation student, Na needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Tampa State College, and I'm one semester 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 $3,650. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $3,650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,200 • Final term tuition: $1,200 • Exam and lab fees: $105 • Textbooks and materials: $145 With deep gratitude, Na

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tampa!

      Thank you. If you're in Tampa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Ramón G. Cruz

    Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nuremberg.

    • Quinn Wade

      sending love, Na. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Tampa

      • Ki-tae Hyun-woo Yang

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Take care.

        • Lata T. Panwar

          thinking of you and your family, Na. Study hard! I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

            Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal.
