I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Auckland Polytechnic, and I'm one semester 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 $3,150.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $3,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350
• Final term tuition: $1,300
• Exam and lab fees: $300
• Textbooks and materials: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Kai. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Good luck, Kai. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
