Jin-ah's final semester of an accounting degree in Bronx
Jin-ah has worked and saved for three years to study an accounting degree; a $5,450 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇺🇸 Bronx, New York, United States4,428 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Bronx Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,450.
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 professor 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 $5,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Final term tuition: $2,550
• Exam and lab fees: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $330
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
