I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Philadelphia Polytechnic, 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 first-class average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $4,900 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $210 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300 • Final term tuition: $2,390 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lourdes

    Wishing you peace, Lourdes. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      Good luck, Lourdes. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

          praying for you. Study hard! After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Vadodara.
