I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Kingston State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150. 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 department head 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 Kingston State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,150 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $110 • Final term tuition: $450 • Outstanding tuition balance: $590 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Sending good thoughts, Jamal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from New Delhi.

      • Maria T. NunezQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jamal

        • Jamal M. FrancisOwnerAnswer

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. exam and lab fees comes first ($110) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
