Southampton
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the Southampton Institute of Technology, 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 $5,400. 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 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 the Southampton Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,850 • Final term tuition: $2,050 • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Textbooks and materials: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Santiago

Updates from Santiago

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($78 in total) the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($43 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    thinking of you, Santiago. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          Rooting for you, Santiago. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
