I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at San Jose University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,050. 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 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 $4,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550 • Final term tuition: $2,100 • Exam and lab fees: $115 • Textbooks and materials: $285 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Feng
