Samantha is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at Lafayette University, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,200. The registrar has said Samantha can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Samantha has a distinction average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Samantha would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Samantha isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Lafayette University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,750 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $170 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Gabriel
