I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at San Francisco Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,600.
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 professor 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 $3,600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,000
• Final term tuition: $1,250
• Exam and lab fees: $105
• Textbooks and materials: $245
With deep gratitude,
Jie

Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Kilkenny
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Gdańsk
