I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Albany State College, and I'm two terms 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 $5,100. 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 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 Albany State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,100 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,650 • Final term tuition: $3,000 • Exam and lab fees: $195 • Textbooks and materials: $255 With deep gratitude, Wendy

Updates from Wendy

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($738 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    What's already covered and what's the $5,100 for?

    • Wendy P. WallaceOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($1,650) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Michael A. Fowler
