One semester away: help Renate graduate from Berlin Community College

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Berlin Community College, and I'm one semester 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 $5,150. 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 professor 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 $5,150 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $260 • Final term tuition: $3,050 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,840 Glad we found this place.
