Jennifer's final semester of an accounting degree in Rockford
A first-generation student, Jennifer needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States2,831 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Rockford Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $5,900.
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 academic advisor 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 Rockford Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700
• Textbooks and materials: $270
• Final term tuition: $2,930
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Jennifer. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together
