Birmingham
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Birmingham State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,050. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $5,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,900 • Final term tuition: $1,950 • Exam and lab fees: $90 • Textbooks and materials: $110 Thanks for reading all this.
