Laura has worked and saved for three years to study a computer science degree; a $5,000 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Raleigh State College, and I'm one term 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 $5,000. 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 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 $5,000 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $370 • Final term tuition: $1,450 • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,180 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Laura

  1. Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($1,983). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.

            hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 37 people at work. All the best.
