Silas's final semester of a computer science degree in London
Silas has worked and saved for three years to study a computer science degree; a $4,850 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at London Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,850.
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 $4,850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450
• Exam and lab fees: $220
• Final term tuition: $2,180
Glad we found this place.

so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
good luck, Silas. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
you're not alone, Silas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
