Jaxon's final semester of a teaching qualification in Chicago
A first-generation student, Jaxon needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States2,766 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Chicago University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,300.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 Chicago University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,950
• Final term tuition: $2,100
• Exam and lab fees: $90
• Textbooks and materials: $160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning. Love from Leeds.
Sending good thoughts, Jaxon. I hope things turn around soon.
Take care, Jaxon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
