Wendy is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a pharmacy diploma at Leicester State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,650. The registrar has said Wendy can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Wendy has a first-class average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Wendy would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Wendy isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $1,650 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $310 • Final term tuition: $1,120 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wendy!

    • Eliana F. KennedyOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is exam and lab fees, $220. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

  • Maya N. King

    Sending strength. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Jocelyn W. Whitaker
