Isabelle is one term away from finishing an electrical engineering diploma but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $3,400.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Knoxville Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,400.
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 faculty supervisor 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 $3,400 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,850
• Exam and lab fees: $180
• Textbooks and materials: $370
With deep gratitude,
Isabelle

Best of luck, Isabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Oakland

Hang in there, Isabelle. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Knoxville.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal.
