One semester away: help Colton graduate from Las Cruces State College
A first-generation student, Colton needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.
🇺🇸 United States1,132 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Las Cruces State College, 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 $4,050.
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 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 $4,050 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Textbooks and materials: $200
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
