I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Syracuse State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,200. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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. The payment will go directly to the Syracuse State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050 • Final term tuition: $1,700 • Exam and lab fees: $165 • Textbooks and materials: $285 Thank you so much.
