Hudson's final semester of a degree in social work in Swansea
A first-generation student, Hudson needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom4,047 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Swansea Polytechnic, and I'm one semester 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 $4,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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 Swansea Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,400
• Final term tuition: $1,800
• Exam and lab fees: $155
• Textbooks and materials: $195
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Hudson. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Hubballi donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon, Hudson. This could happen to any of us.
wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Swansea.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Richards Bay.
Hang in there. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
