Stella's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in St. Petersburg
A first-generation student, Stella needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.
🇺🇸 St. Petersburg, Florida, United States4,383 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at St. Petersburg University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,750.
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 St. Petersburg University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,450
• Final term tuition: $2,150
• Exam and lab fees: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
