I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at the Louisville Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,550.
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 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 the Louisville Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,150
• Final term tuition: $1,750
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $420

Updates from Kennedy
Good news. Because of your gifts ($845 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
