I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Cleveland Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $3,450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my professor 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 Cleveland Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,200
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,050
• Exam and lab fees: $200
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong, Brooks. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nuremberg.
Thanks for sharing this, Brooks. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Best of luck, Brooks. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Hope it all works out, Brooks. Your post was clear and honest!
