Southampton
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Southampton Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester 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 $4,350. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $4,350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,500 • Final term tuition: $1,500 • Exam and lab fees: $200 • Textbooks and materials: $150 Thanks for reading all this. - Brooks
