I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Oakland University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,850.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
The payment will go directly to the Oakland University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,200
• Final term tuition: $1,400
• Exam and lab fees: $130
• Textbooks and materials: $120
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Leah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Bakersfield so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Leah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Oakland.
