I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at London State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $6,050. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $6,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650 • Final term tuition: $3,150 • Exam and lab fees: $145 • Textbooks and materials: $105 Every share and every dollar helps. - Brooks

    Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

        Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          what's already covered and what's the $6,050 for?

          • Brooks B. AshworthOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $2,650, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
