I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Dehiwala State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $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 department head 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 Dehiwala State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $270
• Final term tuition: $430
• Exam and lab fees: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dehiwala!
Thank you. If you're in Dehiwala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My husband and I read this together. All the best!
