🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea1,547 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Seoul Polytechnic, 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 $2,750.
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 academic advisor 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 Seoul Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,900
• Outstanding tuition balance: $660
• Exam and lab fees: $190
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Chae-won. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
Best of luck, Chae-won. Shared this with my family.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Chae-won?
rooting for you, Chae-won. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My neighbor in Varanasi donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Khulna.
Good luck. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. After 6 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
