I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Miami University, 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 $5,450. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $5,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,150 • Final term tuition: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $210 • Textbooks and materials: $440 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Arianna

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,460 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
