Baton Rouge
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Baton Rouge State College, and I'm one semester 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 $3,250. 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 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. The payment will go directly to the Baton Rouge State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,250 goes: • Final term tuition: $3,000 • Exam and lab fees: $95 • Textbooks and materials: $155 Every share and every dollar helps.

    You're not alone, Aaron. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Vanessa F. Enriquez

      So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Sakai this morning. Thinking of Baton Rouge.

      • Maya F. Norwood

        Good luck with the exams, you've got this. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.

        • Karim Said
