Ricardo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in social work at Jacksonville Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,650. The registrar has said Ricardo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ricardo has a distinction average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ricardo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Ricardo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Jacksonville Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750 • Final term tuition: $2,400 • Exam and lab fees: $170 • Textbooks and materials: $330 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
