One semester away: help Sophie graduate from Munich State College
A first-generation student, Sophie needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Munich State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $3,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,500
• Final term tuition: $2,000
• Exam and lab fees: $160
• Textbooks and materials: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Praying for you, Sophie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Wishing you the best, Sophie. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
best of luck, Sophie. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
