I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Grenoble Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 Grenoble Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $135
• Final term tuition: $2,000
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,465
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Pierre. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
sending strength, Pierre. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to George so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone, Pierre. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
