I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Philadelphia Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,350.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 Philadelphia Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,000
• Textbooks and materials: $170
• Exam and lab fees: $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Nora. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Thinking of Philadelphia.
Stay strong, Nora. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mwanza.
Hope it all works out, Nora. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 9 people at work. Greetings from Aurangabad
Best of luck, Nora. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ubud.
Hang in there, Nora. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
