One semester away: help Arnel graduate from Saskatoon University
A first-generation student, Arnel needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Saskatoon University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,250.
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 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 $2,250 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,100
• Final term tuition: $950
• Textbooks and materials: $200
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arnel
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($1,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope things get better soon, Arnel. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Take care, Arnel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Newcastle upon Tyne but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Saskatoon
Thank you. If you're in Saskatoon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
good luck, Arnel. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Anaheim!
hope things get better soon, Arnel. Shared it with a few friends.
Take care, Arnel. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Saskatoon.
Thanks for sharing this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bengaluru
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Keep going, Arnel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Saskatoon
Sending strength, Arnel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
