I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Leeds State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant 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 distinction 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 Leeds State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700 • Final term tuition: $1,750 • Exam and lab fees: $140 • Textbooks and materials: $260 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Carter

Updates from Carter

  1. Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($1,430). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees.

        hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 25 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
