I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at the Sydney Institute of Technology, 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 $4,850.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $4,850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,800
• Final term tuition: $1,650
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $160
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. All the best.
keep going. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Sydney
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
