I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Cairns Polytechnic, 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 $1,400. 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 $1,400 goes: โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $125 โ€ข Final term tuition: $1,150 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $125 Thank you so much. - Stella

      Wishing you peace. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 11 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
