Lucas is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in social work at Nice Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,500. The registrar has said Lucas can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lucas has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Lucas would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Lucas isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Nice Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,400 • Final term tuition: $1,550 • Exam and lab fees: $270 • Textbooks and materials: $280 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lucas

    • Ethan DenisOwnerAnswer

      Outstanding tuition balance is $2,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Srinivas J. Pai

    Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Saint-Denis.

      hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Nice.

      • Mateo P. White

        Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Veracruz this morning. Thinking of Nice.

        • Enzo Brito

          So sorry you're going through this, Ethan. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

          • Ying Cai

            Praying for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Please keep us posted. Love from Ho.
