I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Port Harcourt Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms 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 $300.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the the Port Harcourt Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $300 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Final term tuition: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $5

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from La Plata.
