Kimberly's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Birmingham
A first-generation student, Kimberly needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,427 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Birmingham Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms 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 $3,700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $910
• Exam and lab fees: $180
• Final term tuition: $2,610
With deep gratitude,
Kimberly

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kimberly!
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Greetings from Glasgow.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Study hard! Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal
