One semester away: help Cora graduate from Newcastle upon Tyne Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Cora needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an agriculture degree.
Anywhere in the world1,259 views
Cora is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Newcastle upon Tyne Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,550.
The registrar has said Cora can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Cora has a distinction average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Cora would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Cora isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $2,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $840
• Final term tuition: $1,200
• Exam and lab fees: $300
• Textbooks and materials: $210

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cora.
Outstanding tuition balance is $840 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Sending strength, Brooks. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne
Wishing you the best, Brooks. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Onitsha this morning. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Rotterdam.
rooting for you, Brooks. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
