I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Lahore State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $405.
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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $405 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $200
• Final term tuition: $175
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Textbooks and materials: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
