I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Fort Collins Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,400.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 $5,400 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,250
• Final term tuition: $1,600
• Exam and lab fees: $190
• Textbooks and materials: $360
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Neelam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nha Trang.
hope it all works out, Neelam. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Love from Kaduna.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Moscow
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Fort Collins.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Sacramento this morning. Love from Sacramento
So sorry you're going through this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
You're not alone, Neelam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
