I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the Albany Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester 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 $4,550.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,150
• Final term tuition: $2,850
• Exam and lab fees: $210
• Textbooks and materials: $340
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Madeline. Hope you get there.
Hope things get better soon, Madeline. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kolkata so I could bring a meal. All the best.
sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Keep going. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Madeline. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Newcastle upon Tyne this morning. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Madeline. Hope this works out for you. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Muzaffarpur
