Lei's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Peoria
A first-generation student, Lei needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇺🇸 United States1,854 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Peoria University, 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 $4,900.
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 department head 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 Peoria University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,100
• Final term tuition: $1,450
• Exam and lab fees: $150
• Textbooks and materials: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thanks for sharing this, Lei. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Chattogram this morning. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Lei. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Good luck, Lei. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Peoria
Take care, Lei. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
