I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Montgomery State College, and I'm one term 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 $2,700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my department head 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 Montgomery State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,050
• Exam and lab fees: $310
• Textbooks and materials: $340
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you, Samantha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
wishing you peace, Samantha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
sending good thoughts, Samantha. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from Sacramento!
Rooting for you, Samantha. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hang in there, Samantha. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
