I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Springfield Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 Springfield Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,100 • Final term tuition: $2,750 • Exam and lab fees: $300 • Textbooks and materials: $250 Glad we found this place. - Isla

Updates from Isla

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,890 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($1,486). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees.

    Stay strong, Isla. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Kraków so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

    • Eugene Castro

      As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best

      • Koji Ando

        Sending love, Isla. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. All the best.

        • Tuhin Masud Banerjee

          So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
