I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Jacksonville Polytechnic, and I'm two terms 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 $4,550. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my academic advisor 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 Jacksonville Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550 • Final term tuition: $2,550 • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Textbooks and materials: $210 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Alejandro

  1. Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($861). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.

  2. We're at 16% thanks to 8 of you. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. - Alejandro
