I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Derry Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,450. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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. The payment will go directly to the Derry Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,450 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $195 • Final term tuition: $2,900 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Taylor
