Janet's final semester of a degree in social work in Cincinnati
A first-generation student, Janet needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇺🇸 United States3,135 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Cincinnati Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,150.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,650
• Textbooks and materials: $360
• Exam and lab fees: $140
Thanks for reading all this.
