I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Birmingham Community College, and I'm one semester 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 $5,850.
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 faculty supervisor 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 Birmingham Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650
• Final term tuition: $2,750
• Exam and lab fees: $280
• Textbooks and materials: $170
Thank you so much.
